Abstract: Objective: To compare the apically vertical load induced by three NiTi instruments during canal shaping of extracted teeth. Methods: Thirty extracted mandibular premolar teeth which had single canal with a curvature between 10-20 degree were shaped with ProTape Next (PTN; Dentsply Maillefer, Switzerland), ProTaper Universal (PTU,Dentsply Maillefer, Switzerland), and M3 (China) systems (n=10 for each system). During root canal shaping, time and apically vertical load were recorded. Results: PTN group had the lowest apically vertical load, while PTU group and M3 group had no significant difference. Conclusion: ProTaper next NiTi instrument system (PTN) had the lowest values of apically vertical load while shaping, which may attributed to its safety.

Key words: NiTi instruments, curved root canal, apically vertical load
