Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to compare the apical transportation and working length change in curved root canals created in resin blocks, using 3 geometrically different types of Ni-Ti files, K3, NRT, and Profile. Materials and Methods: The curvature of 30 resin blocks was measured by Schneider technique and each groups of Ni-Ti files were allocated with 10 resin blocks at random. The canals were shaped with Ni-Ti files by Crown-down technique. It was analyzed by Double radiograph superimposition method (Backman CA 1992), and for the accuracy and consistency, specially designed jig, digital X-ray, and CAD/CAM software for measurement of apical transportation were used. The amount of apical transportation was measured at 0, 1, 3, 5 mm from 'apical foramen - 0.5 mm' area, and the alteration of the working length before and after canal shaping was also measured. For statistics, Kruskal-Wallis One Way Analysis was used. Results: There was no significant difference between the groups in the amount of working length change and apical transportation at 0, 1, and 3 mm area (p = 0.027), however, the amount of apical transportation at 5 mm area showed significant difference between K3 and Profile system (p = 0.924). Conclusions: As a result of this study, the 3 geometrically different Ni-Ti files showed no significant difference in apical transportation and working length change and maintained the original root canal shape.

연구목적: 본 연구의 목적은 서로 다른 기하학적 형태를 가진 3가지 Ni-Ti 파일, 즉 K3, NRT, Profle을 사용하여 레진 블록으로 제작된 만곡 근관에서의 apical transportation 양상 및 working length 변화를 서로 비교하는 것이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 실험 방법은 30개의 레진 블록을 Schneider technque을 사용하여 만곡도 측정 후 각 group당 임의로 10개씩 배분하였다. 이를 각 Ni-Ti 파일을 사용하여 crown down technique으로 근관 성형하였다. 이의 분석을 위해 double radiograph superimposition method (Backman CA 1992)를 사용하고, 분석의 정확성과 일관성을 위해 특별히 고안된 jig, digital X-ray 및 apical transportation의 측정 시 CAD/CAM software를 이용하였다. Apical transportation 양은 '근단공-0.5 mm'부위로부터 0, 1, 3, 5 mm에서 측정 하였으며, working length 변화는 근관 성형 전후의 working length 변화를 측정하였다. 또 통계 처리는 각 group의 apical transportation 양과 working length 변화를 Kruskal-Wallis One Way Analysis로 분석 후 다중 비교는 Mann-Whitney U-test를 사용하였다. 결과: 각 group간 working lengh 변화 및 0, 1, 3 mm 부위에서의 apical transportation 측정 값 사이에는 유의할만한 차이가 관찰되지 않았으나(p = 0.924), 5 mm 부위에서는 K3와 Profile사이에 유의할 만한 차이가 있었다(p = 0.027). 결론: 서로 다른 기하학적인 형태를 가진 3가지 Ni-Ti 파일의 apical transportation 및 working length 변화 정도 평가시, 본 연구의 범위 내에서는 3가지 파일 모두 유의할 만한 차이를 보이지 않은 가운데 본래의 근관 형태를 잘 유지한다고 할 수 있다.
