Abstract
Materials and Methods: In this in vitro experimental study, fifty extracted mandibular molars with 20–40° curvature, measured by Schneider’s technique, were randomly assigned to two groups. The first group was instrumented with Mtwo rotary files and the second with Denco rotary files. CBCT scans were obtained before and after instrumentation at 1, 3, 5, and 7 mm from the apex. Canal transportation and centering ability were calculated and statistically analyzed using an independent t-test and Mann–Whitney U test.
Results: Across all examined levels, no statistically significant differences were found between Mtwo and Denco systems in terms of canal transportation and centering ability (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, Mtwo and Denco rotary file systems demonstrated comparable performance in preserving the original canal anatomy. Both systems can therefore be considered reliable and safe options for the preparation of curved root canals
