Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study is comparison of cleaning efficiency of rotary and manual endo files during cleaning and shaping of primary and permanent tooth.
Materials and Methods : A total of 100 articles were searched in pubmed on cleaning efficiency of rotary and manual files. Articles which had protocol on cleaning efficacy rather than cyclic fatigue and torsional effects were included. A total of 15 articles were assessed out of which 7 were included.
Result : Rotary files were found to have significantly better cleaning efficiency and less time consumption on primary and permanent tooth. However manual endodontic files were also found to serve equivalent cleaning efficiency.
Conclusion : In this study we obtain several articles which stated variable results and conclusion. However, particularly on cleaning efficiency, rotary and manual endodontic files were found to have significantly no differences in primary as well as permanent tooth.
