Özet

This review was designed to analyse whether the supplementary use of XP-Endo Finisher and XP-Endo Finisher R contributes to the removal of root canal filling materials. Databases were searched up to November 2020. Studies were critically assessed according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Risk of bias evaluation was performed. Pooled standardised mean differences (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated. Ten studies involving 192 teeth were eligible for systematic review and meta-analysis could be performed with eight of these studies. Strong evidence showed that XP-Endo Finisher R file contributed significantly to filling material removal from root canals (SMD (95% CI): 0.41 (0.06-0.76)). Although the evidence was conflicting, XP-Endo Finisher R file was superior than other irrigant activation techniques (SMD (95% CI): 0.47 (0.02-0.93)). The supplementary use of XP-Endo Finisher and XP-Endo Finisher R is beneficial in further removal of root canal filling materials from root canal system.
