The effect of the flat-side in an engine-driven full-sequence file system on root Canal disinfection: a preliminary ex vivo investigation

Key Points

• Full-sequence file systems improve root canal disinfection compared to traditional methods.
• Observations indicate significant disinfection efficacy, with reductions in microbial presence documented.
• Ex vivo analysis focused on the impact of flat-side designs in an engine-driven context.
• Findings highlight the potential for better treatment outcomes in dental practices, warranting further exploration.
