Resumen
El presente estudio comparó los defectossuperficiales entre dos sistemas de limas mecanizadas, One Curve® (rotatoria) y One RECI® (reciprocante), tras su uso en conductos radiculares curvos moderados. Se emplearon 80 limas nuevas (40 por sistema) utilizadas hasta tres veces en 240 raíces mesiales de molares inferiores. Los defectos superficiales como microfisuras, cráteres, deformaciones de estrías, aplanamiento de bordes y deformación de punta fueron analizados mediante microscopía electrónica de barrido con aumentos de 100×, 200× y 500x. Para la comparación entre sistemas en cada ciclo de uso se empleó la prueba U de Mann–Whitney. Los resultados mostraron que ambos sistemas desarrollaron defectos desde el primer uso, con incremento progresivo conforme aumentaron los ciclos de instrumentación. One Curve® presentó mayor deterioro inicial en cráteres, deformación de punta y deformación de estrías durante los dos primeros usos, mientras que One RECI® mostró menor afectación inicial. No obstante, al tercer uso, ambos instrumentos mostraron medias comparables en todos los defectos analizados, sin evidencia de diferencias significativas entre los sistemas. En el análisis por tercios, el tercio apical mostró la mayor concentración de defectos en ambos instrumentos y solo se identificaron diferencias en microfisuras coronales y deformación de punta, ambas mayores en One Curve®. Se concluye que One RECI® presentó menor deterioro inicial; sin embargo, al tercer uso no se encontraron diferencias significativas entre ambos sistemas, evidenciando un nivel de afectación superficial final comparable tras la instrumentación de conductos curvos moderados.
This study compared superficial defects in two mechanized endodontic file systems—One Curve® (rotary) and One RECI® (reciprocating)—after use in moderately curved root canals. A total of 80 new instruments (40 per system) were used up to three times in 240 mesial roots of extracted mandibular molars. Surface alterations, including microcracks, craters, flute deformation, edge flattening, and tip distortion, were examined using scanning electron microscopy at 100×, 200×, and 500× magnifications. The Mann–Whitney U test was applied to compare defect scores between systems at each usage cycle. Both systems exhibited defects from the first use, with a progressive increase across subsequent instrumentation cycles. One Curve® demonstrated greater initial deterioration—particularly in craters, tip distortion, and flute deformation—during the first two uses, whereas One RECI® showed less early alteration. By the third use, however, both systems presented comparable defect scores, with no significant differences between them. In the analysis by root thirds, the apical third showed the highest concentration of defects in both systems, and differences were observed only in coronal microcracks and tip distortion, both more pronounced in One Curve®. It is concluded that One RECI® exhibited less initial deterioration; nevertheless, by the third use both systems demonstrated a similar level of superficial alteration after instrumentation of moderately curved root canals.
