Canal preparation using only one Ni-Ti rotary instrument: preliminary observations

TL;DR: A novel canal preparation technique is introduced using only one Ni-Ti rotary instrument in a reciprocating movement, which includes a reduced number of instruments, lower cost, a reduced instrument fatigue and the elimination of possible prion cross-contamination associated with the single use of endodontic instruments.
