dc.description.abstract | Aim. To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis according to the following
PICO question: in extracted human permanent teeth, does preflaring, compared with unflared
canals, influence the accuracy of WL determination with EAL? Material and Methods. A systematic
review was conducted according to the PRISMA checklist, using the following databases: PubMed,
Science Direct, Scopus, and Web of Science. Studies related to WL determination using EAL both
in preflared and unflared root canals of extracted human teeth were included. The outcome of
interest was the accuracy of the electronic WL determination. A quality assessment of the included
studies was performed, determining the risk of bias. The meta-analyses were calculated with the
5.4 RevMan software using the inverse variance method with random effects. PROSPERO registration:
CRD42021243412. Results. Ten experimental studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria, and most of them
found that preflaring increases the accuracy of the EALs in WL determination. The calculated OR
was 1.98 (95% CI = 1.65–2.37; p < 0.00001; I2 = 10%), indicating that the determination of WL by
EALs is almost twice as accurate in preflared canals. The accuracy of Root ZX in WL determination
increases more than three times (OR = 3.25; p < 0.00001). Preflaring with Protaper files significantly
increases the accuracy of EALs (OR = 1.76; p < 0.00001). The total risk of bias of the included studies
was low. No obvious publication bias was observed. Conclusions. The results indicate a significant
increase in the accuracy of WL determination with EAL after preflaring, doubling the percentage of
exact measurements. Preflaring should be recommended as an important step during mechanical
enlargement of the root canal, not only because it improves the access of the files to the canal, but
also because it allows one to obtain more accurate electronic determinations of WL. | es |
