Abstract
Root canal preparation is one of the most important stages in endodontic treatment which aids both is cleaning and shaping of the canals. A well-shaped canal helps both in irrigation and obturation. Canal preparation can be achieved by different techniques, systems and concepts among which single file canal preparation is the latest. The single-file root canal preparation was first introduced by Yared in 2008 , who proposed the use of only one F2 file (Tulsa Dentsply, Tulsa, OK, USA) in a reciprocating motion for the preparation of curved root canals. Shortly thereafter, some manufacturers adopted this technique and introduced different files with a unique flute design, cross sectional shape, alloy, and working motion to the market. The aim of this lecture to describe and synthesize the available literature about different single-file systems and evaluate their overall efficiency.
