Aim. The aim of this study was to assess the preparation of root canals using single-file instruments Wave One (Densplay-Sirona) and Reciproc (VDW Gmbh). Materials and methods. Forty lower mesial and distal root canals were divided into 4 groups (n=10) according to shaping technique; mesial roots were prepared using Reciproc 25 and WaveOne Primay and distal root using Reciproc 40 and Wave One Large respectively. Pre- and post-instrumented radiographs were taken to examine and compare the cross-sectional shape of the canals at 3, 6 and 9 mm. Results. Wave One led to bigger diameters especially at 9 mm, the difference being of 0,22 mm versus Reciproc 25 and 0,14 mm versus Reciproc 40. Conclusions. The Wave One system produced a bigger tapered root canal preparation versus the Reciproc system.
