Abstract: Objective: To compare the shaping ability of ProTaper Next and WaveOne in simulated resin root canals. Methods: Forty standard simulated resin root canals were randomly assigned to two groups, one group for ProTaper Next and the other group for WaveOne with crown-down techniques. After preparation, the change of root canal arch radius and curvature and the amount of resin removed at the inner and outer canal wall at different measuring points were measured with Image Pro Plus 5.0. The total amount of resin removed was also assessed. At the same time, change of working length and instruments failure were recorded. Results: Both instrument systems could well maintain the working length and original root canal shape. However, the canals prepared with WaveOne showed higher transportation at the apical part. Conclusion: Compared with WaveOne, ProTaper Next showed better shaping ability, especially in the apical part of severely curved canals.
