The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the dentinal microcrack formation in root dentine by new SAF system and other rotary instruments. This study was performed on 40 single-canal extracted mandibular premolars. Materials And Methods:- Teeth were divided into 4 groups (n=10), according to their preparation criteria: Group 1- Control group in which teeth were only prepared with #20 K file. Group 2- Teeth were prepared by K3XF (SYBRONENDO) file after glide path preparation with #20 K file Group 3- Teeth were prepared by Twisted file system (SYBRONENDO) after glide path preparation with #20 K file Group 4- Teeth were prepared by Self Adjusting File system after glide path preparation with #20 K file. Results:- In the present study the maximum defects were found in group 3 (twisted file), followed by group 2 (K3XF) and minimum cracks in group 4 i.e SAF system. No defects were observed in group 1(control). Groups were significantly different from each other (P = 0.01). Conclusion:-Maximum defects were found in group 3 (twisted file), followed by group 2 (K3XF) and minimum cracks in group 4 i.e SAF system. No defects were observed in group 1(control). The p value less than 0.05(p<0.05) was considered statistically significant.
