The purpose of this study was to compare the debridement efficacy of hand, sonic (MM-3000), and ultrasonic (Cavi-Endo) appliances, utilizing the same K-type files and a constant flow irrigation system, in the mesial root canals of extracted human mandibular 1st and 2nd molars. Only those roots with a canal curvature of between 10 and 30 degrees, by Schneider's method, were used in this study. The instrumentation time per mesial root canal for each treatment group was also evaluated. Following canal preparation and histological processing, the middle and apical cross-sections were examined to determine the percentage of canal and isthmus cleanliness, and the percentage of planed canal walls in the main canal area. Statistical analysis indicated no significant difference in canal and isthmus cleanliness at the middle and apical levels. All techniques achieved a high level of canal cleanliness. However, step-back hand instrumentation had the greatest percentage of planed canal walls in the main canal area at every portion of the root. Sonic instrumentation, in this study, was significantly faster than hand instrumentation in preparing the root canal system.
