Abstract

Objective: To assess the efficiency of XP-Endo Finisher file (XPFF), EDDY, and diode laser as supplementary irrigation activation techniques following nickel-titanium rotary files in the endodontic retreatment.

Methods: 48 mandibular premolars were collected. Each root canal was shaped and filled with EndoSequence BC sealer and gutta percha. After 14 days, endodontic retreatment was performed using D-Race instruments. Then, 48 samples were assigned into 4 groups (n=12) as control, diode laser, EDDY, and XPFF according to the supplementary irrigation methods. After the irrigation procedure, all samples were visualized under a stereomicroscope. The remaining root filling material was scored and compared statistically using Kruskal-Wallis and Post-hoc pairwise comparison tests.

Results: In all thirds, there was a significant difference between the diode laser and control groups. The amount of remaining filling material in the diode laser group was significantly lower than in the control group. When the other groups were compared, a significant difference was observed only between the diode laser and XPFF groups in the coronal third.

Conclusion: No supplemental method could eliminate the root obturation material. The diode laser can be used in addition to nickel-titanium rotary retreatment systems to improve the removal of gutta percha and bioceramic sealer.
