The small buttress thread screw with a large taper displayed greater mean insertion torque at one-third insertion (4.1 ± 0.57 in-lb v 3.2 ± 0.49 in-lb, P =.03), whereas the large buttress thread screw with a small taper displayed greater mean insertion torque at full insertion (11.1 ± 0.74 in-lb v 9.4 ± 1.3 in-lb, P =.012).
Bürklein et al. [ 23] compared Reciproc, WaveOne, HyflexCM, F360, and classical (old) One Shape systems either with or without previous glide path preparation and concluded that less tapered instruments maintained the original canal curvature better than did instruments having greater tapers.
