In this study, the effect of using two different methods for preparing curved root canals of extracted, single-rooted teeth were analyzed with the scanning electron microscope. The instrumentation systems tested were the Canal Master and a standard circumferential filing technique in which conventional K-files were used. Shaping effectiveness was qualitatively evaluated in terms of respect for conservation of the apical constriction and the presence or absence of ledging, specially in the apical third of the root canals. As a result of our observations, it appeared that the Canal Master instrumentation technique provided well-centered and tapered preparations. Conversely, the use of conventional K-files with a standard circumferential filing technique resulted in frequent alterations of the initial pattern of the root canals, showing transportation of the apical foramen and ledge formation.
