Analysis of kinematic, kinetic and electromyographic patterns during root canal preparation with rotary and manual instruments

OBJECTIVE: This study assessed the muscular activity during root canal preparation through kinematics, kinetics, and electromyography (EMG). MATERIAL AND METHODS: The operators prepared one canal with RaCe rotary instruments and another with Flexo-files. The kinematics of the major joints was recons...
