Morphological Changes of the Apical Foramen in Curved Root Canals After Use of Different Heat Treated NiTi Rotary Files: A Scanning Electron Microscopy Study
The enlargement of the major apical foramen occurs regardless of the type of file system used. The hand K files and PTU result in significant foramen deformation when instrumented up to the major apical foramen. However, TRN and XPS promote minor alterations at the foramen which are not statistically significant. (EEJ-2024-01-20).
