Methodology: Eighty single-rooted freshly extracted human mandibular premolars were divided into two groups consisting of 40 teeth each. Retreatment was performed with R-Endo (Micro-Mega, Besançon, France) and Hedstroem files (Dentsply, Maillefer, Ballaigeus, Switzerland). The experimental teeth were obturated with lateral condensation technique. Then, 1.5-mL Eppendorf tubes were used to collecting the material that was extruded during preparation by subtracting post-instrumentation weight from pre-instrumentation weight. Results: There were significant differences in the amount of debris extruded between the groups (p&lt;0.001). The amount of apical extrusion in the R-Endo group was determined to be less than in the hand instrumentation group. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, it might be concluded that all tested instruments resulted in apical extrusion of debris. During endodontic retreatment procedures, the hand files extruded a significantly higher amount of debris than the R-Endo.</dc:description><dc:date>2022</dc:date><dc:type>Article</dc:type><dc:identifier>https://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/adakent/10143</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>https://doi.org/10.5577/intdentres.2022.vol12.no2.6</dc:identifier><dc:language>en</dc:language><dc:relation>International Dental Research</dc:relation><dc:rights>info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess</dc:rights><dc:type>info:eu-repo/semantics/article</dc:type><dc:identifier>https://adakent-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/adakent/10143</dc:identifier></oai_dc:dc></metadata></record></GetRecord></OAI-PMH>
