A COMPARISON OF ONE SHAPE AND PROTAPER NEXT ROTARY SYSTEMS
FOR ELIMINATION OF
ENTEROCOCCUS FAECALIS
FROM ROOT CANAL:
MICROBIOLOGICAL AND SEM EVALUATION

I
ncomplete removal of micro-organisms from infected root canals is a common cause of failed endodontic
treatment. The difficulty in eradication of
Enterococcus faecalis
is from root canals plays an essential role in
pathogenesis of persistent pulp al and Perl radicular infections. The aim of the present study was to compare
the reduction of
Enterococcus faecalis
in root canals by mechanical instrumentation using two rotary systems
(One Shape and Pro Taper Next) and Hand K-file instrumentation by using microbiological and Scanning Elec-
tron Microscopy (SEM) evaluation. Fifty one freshly extracted mandibular premolars with a single root were
collected. After pre-instrumentation sampling, they were divided into three groups, Group A, Group B and
Group C in which biomechanical preparation was done using Hand K-File, One Shape and protaper Next re-
spectively. Reduction in pre-instrumentation and post-instrumentation values of
Enterococcus faecal
is were
analyzed using microbiological and SEM evaluation. Statistical analysis by paired ’t’ test and p value showed
that there was highly statistical significant difference in CFU count reduction between the pre-Instrumentation
and post-instrumentation values in all the groups.
