Gentlefile Finisher Brush is Superior to Ni-Ti files in the Apical Area
Comparison of the Efficacy of Different Techniques for the Removal of Root Canal Filling Material in Artificial Teeth: A Micro-Computed Tomography Study
Conclusion:
"...The Total Mean Volume of Residual Filling Material after retreatment in the conventional, PUI, and GF Brush groups was 4.84896, 0.80702, and 0.05248 mm3, respectively, with percentage values of 6.76%, 1.13%, and 0.07%, respectively ... In the GF Brush group, all three regions showed a small amount of residual material..."

Important Highlights:
"...This study shows that the cleaning effect of the GF Brush system is superior to those of Ni-Ti retreatment files and PUI system in the apical area.."
"...Compared with the conventional and PUI groups, the GF Brush group showed a significantly smaller volume of residual filling material in the apical region.."
"...Almost 99.76% of the filling material in the apical region was eliminated by this system..."
