Interventions

The ProTaper Universal retreatment files were used at a constant speed of 500 rpm for D1 and 400 rpm for D2 and D3&#44
with a torque of 3 Ncm using a 16:1 reduction hand piece powered by a torque&#45
controlled electric motor (X&#45
Smart Plus
Dentsply Maillefer). Coronal part of canal filling material was removed using D1 (#30/.09 taper) file. Following this&#44
0.1 ml of orange oil was applied into each root canal to soften gutta&#45
percha. Then&#44
in order to determine electronically the working length&#44
a # 15 k&#45
file to a Root ZX mini (J. Morita Corp.&#44
Kyoto&#44
Japan) apex locator was connected and the file was inserted to the apical of the canal in softened gutta&#45
percha until the "0.0" value is obtained. The working length was determined to be shorter than 1 mm from this length. D2 (#25/.08 taper) files were used in the middle thirds of the root canal and the
the apical preparation of canals were performed with F2&#44

F4&#44
and F5 ProTaper rotary files (Dentsply Maillefer).,The Mtwo retreatment files were used at a constant speed of 280 rpm for R15 and R25 files. Coronal filling material was removed using R25 (#25/.05 ta
the working length was determined same as ProTaper Universal retreatement group. R25 file was used by brushing movements at the 1.2 Ncm torque until reaching the working length. When resistance is enc
