Many manufacturers’ claims and existing guidelines for selecting a nickel-titanium (NiTi) file system are unsubstantiated, based on contemporary authors and lectures, or anecdotal; they are based on clinical experience without an evidence-based, scientific approach. There are limitations to existing guidelines: they do not take recent research into account; they do not discuss goals or predictable methods for obtaining clean canals and 3-D obturation; they emphasize the importance of instrument sequence to shape root canals radiographically for obturation; and they are based on philosophies limited by constraints of previous canal preparation instruments/techniques. Learning objectives: Understand the ability of a single-file system versus multiple-file systems in preparing canals without procedural errors Understand the objectives of canal instrumentation and how to achieve these objectives with a single NiTi file system based on research. Know the advantages of one file NiTi system over others. Know the advantages of core obturation materials for 3-D obturation of the prepared canal space based on the best evidence possible.
