ABSTRACT
The development of new rotary instruments for endodontic treatment demands new studies to evaluate their efficacy on the retreatment of root canals. The scope of this study was to analyze the partial or total removal of the filling material by the ProTaper system in the retreatment of gutta-percha-filled root canals, as well as the time required to reach the previous working length. Thirty-six human canines were equally divided in three groups (n=12) and had their root canals prepared bythe following

methods:

GI=Thermafill system; GII=McSpadden; GII Ilateral condensation. After that, all specimens were retreated without solvent and using the ProTaper system. The time necessary to remove the filling material was registered. After the removal of the filling material,the specimens were sectioned longitudinally and magnified images ofthe sections were recorded and printed. The presence or absence of remaining filling material was registered. The results showed a significant statistical difference between the McSpadden group and the others with relation to the time required for filling removal. All groups exhibited an incomplete removal of the filling material. It can be concluded that although the rapidity that the ProTaper instruments reached the working length, the system has to be associated to another retreatment.
RESUMO
O desenvolvimento de novos instrumentos rotatórios para o tratamento endodôntico gera a necessidade de novos estudos para avaliar a eficiência desses instrumentos no retratamento dos canais radiculares. Este trabalho buscou avaliar se a remoção do material obturador é total ou parcial, bem como o tempo gasto para atingir o comprimento de trabalho utilizando-se o sistema ProTaper. Trinta e seis caninos humanos foram preparados e obturados formando três grupos experimentais (n=12)GI = sistema Thermafill; GII = McSpadden; GIII = condensação lateral.Os três grupos foram então submetidos ao retratamento utilizando-se o sistema ProTaper (sem o uso de solvente) e os tempos foram aferidos.Após a remoção do material obturador, os espécimes foram seccionados longitudinalmente e avaliados por meio de uma câmera acoplada a uma impressora, para determinação da presença ou não de remanescente obturador. Como resultado, obteve-se uma remoção incompleta do material obturador de todos os espécimes, e com relação ao tempo houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre o grupo obturado com McSpadden e os demais grupos. Conclui-se que os instrumentos ProTaper testados mostraram-se rápidos para atingir o comprimentode trabalho durante o retratamento, entretanto devem ser complementados por outra técnica de retratamento.
