Abstract
Several instrumentation strategies have been proposed to lessen apical debris extrusion. K-files were
traditionally used for hand filing, which resulted in a lot of waste being flushed out. Given the
improvements in both preparation and instrumentation, it is crucial to pinpoint the methods that
minimize debris extrusion in the apical direction. Root canal therapy was performed on a selection of a
hundred sixty teeth, both healthy and diseased. All of the participants were randomly split into two
groups. Group "A" received conventional whereas "Group B" received pro-tapers. All root canal
treatments were completed in two or more appointments, as necessary, to ensure the canal was
properly disinfected. Both groups had their pulp chambers prepared using a sterile bur and standard
saline irrigation, with no rubber dam isolation. Drying of canal was attained utilizing paper points
followed by cotton and temporary packing to ensure tight leak proof coronal closure and the
participants were recalled on subsequent day. According to the findings, the participants (n=40) with
non-vital pulps who underwent hand filing experienced the most symptomatic difficulty. The vital pulp
group, who were treated by pro-tapers, reported the fewest symptoms. In vital teeth, discomfort was
reported more in hand filed teeth than in teeth that were treated with pro-tapers. Both hand-filed and
pro-taper patients reported a higher number of painful non-vital teeth, suggesting a correlation
between the two. In both healthy and diseased teeth, Pro-Taper resulted in fewer post-instrumentation
discomfort than conventional.
