Single-File Technique Series The introduction of nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary file systems has resulted in a markedly progress on the mechanical preparation of the root canal space. NiTi instruments offer many advantages over conventional stainless steel files such as flexibility and cutting efficiency. Furthermore, NiTi instruments maintain the original canal shape during preparation and have reduced tendency to transport the apical foramen. However, the current technology for mechanical preparation - rotary NiTi files - have failed in debriding oval-shaped canals, leaving untouched fins or recesses on the buccal and/or lingual extensions. This untouched recesses may harbor unaffected residual bacterial biofilms and serve as a potential cause of persistent infection and poor treatment outcome. Besides, as these techniques also require the use of numerous instruments to enlarge the canal to an adequate size and taper, they are relatively time and cost consuming. The newly developed rec...
