Apicaldebrisextrusionmaybeclinicallyassociatedwithpain and/or swelling in the presence of an intense inflammatory response [1]. This extrusion is an undesired consequence of themechanicalinstrumentationoftherootcanal,andnoneof theavailableinstrumentationsystemscanavoidapicaldebris extrusion.Thus,methodstominimizethisphenomenonare continuously investigated [2]. Apical debris extrusion has been demonstrated to vary based on kinematics, number of files used, taper, cross section, and cutting efficacy [3], and these findings justify the need for an analysis of the widely usedsystems. The Reciproc (VDW, Munich, Germany) and WaveOne (Dentsply/Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) single-file systems feature a specific motor that performs the reciprocating motion (i.e., movements alternating clockwise and counterclockwise)andarerecommendedforsingleuse.Both systems are made of heat-treated nickel-titanium (Memory Wire, Dentsply Tulsa Dental Specialties, Tulsa, OK, USA), whichisresistanttofatigue[4].Thereciprocatingmotionalso improvestheresistanceofthenickel-titaniuminstrumentto cyclicalfatigue[5].
