Abstract

Objectives: To compare the cleaning efficacy of two novel single file systems. Methods: Forty freshly extracted mandibular premolars were equally divided into two groups: WOG group prepared by WaveOne Gold file, SAF group prepared by Self-adjusting file. These teeth were sectioned longitudinally and processed for evaluation of debris and smear layer score under Scanning Electronic Microscope at 2 mm, 5 mm and 8mm from the apex by two observers. Results: There were statistically significant differences between two groups in debris score (overall, middle third) and smear layer score (apical third) (p<0,05). Conclusion: The self-adjusting file system is more efficacious than WaveOne Gold system in terms of cleaning debris (overall and middle third) and smear layer (apical third).
