ABSTRACT
It is essential to create a glide path before root canal preparation with nickel-titanium rotary files to avoid file breakage and preserve the original canal structure. The aim of this study was to compare the amount of apically extruded debris after using different glide path files. A total of 96 first mandibular molars with curved mesial roots were randomly divided into six groups (n = 16) which are K-files, Proglider, R-Pilot, TruNatomy Glider, WaveOne Gold Glider and group without a glide path. Apically extruded debris was measured after glide path and canal preparation. The highest amount of debris was found in the control group without a glide path and using a glide path file caused less debris and significant differences were observed between R-Pilot, TruNatomy Glider, ProGlider, WaveOne Gold Glider and K-file groups. It may be recommended to create a glide path before root canal shaping to reduce the amount of extrusion debris from the apical. Especially in curved and narrow root canals, it is recommended to use an R-Pilot file before root canal shaping in order to reduce the amount of apically extruded debris.
