Abstract

In vitro estudy using extracted bicuspids prepared with increasing file sizes at the apical portion of the root canal. After canal preparation, these teeth were decalcified, serially sectioned and evaluated by two observers regarding cleanliness, shape and regularity. Teeth with one canal tended to be cleaner, more circular and regular as number 40 file is used at the apical area as compared to smaller size files. Similar findings occured in teeth with two canals when number 30 file is used.
