Abstract

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of the System B and EQ-V continuous wave condensation systems in the endodontic treatment of single-rooted teeth. Methods: A controlled clinical trial was conducted on 20 single-rooted teeth from 20 adult patients indicated for root canal treatment. The two systems compared were System B and EQ-V. Evaluation variables included: clinical obturation time, radiolucency rate within the root canal filling, and the ability to fill lateral canals on radiographs. The independent t-test, Mann-Whitney test, and Fisher’s exact test were applied with a significance level of p<0.05. Results: The mean obturation time of the EQ-V system was significantly shorter than that of the System B system (p=0.020). There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of radiolucency rate and lateral canal filling ability (p>0.05). Conclusion: EQ-V is an effective system that can shorten treatment time while maintaining a root canal filling quality comparable to System B.
