Abstract
Aim: To evaluate canal transportation and centering ability of Protaper and WaveOne systems in
curved root canals by cone-beam computed tomography. Methods: Twenty human molars
were randomly divided into two groups according to the system used: Group GP (ProTaper
Universal®) and group GW (WaveOne™). CT scans were performed before and after the
chemo-mechanical preparation on three points: 2 mm, 3 mm and 4 mm from the tooth apex. The
cuttings in dentin were measured and results were statistically analyzed. Results: In GP, there
was higher percentage in transport at 2 mm and 4 mm toward the mesial wall of the tooth root
compared to GW (p<0.05). There was no difference between the systems regarding their centering
ability. Conclusions: None of the systems was able to touch all the dentin walls and stay
centered during the chemical-mechanical preparation.
