Abstract

This literature review aimed to compare undergraduate dental students’ perceptions regarding the use of nickel titanium (NiTi) and stainless steel instruments for the mechanical-chemical preparation of root canals, focusing on quality and time. PubMed, LILACS, Scopus, Embase, SciELO, and CENTRAL electronic databases were accessed to verify and select related studies published as of January 2021. Laboratory studies comparing the use of NiTi instruments with stainless steel instruments by undergraduate dental students were evaluated. Two reviewers independently selected the studies, collected the data, and analyzed the risk of bias. Out of the 92 potentially relevant studies, 10 met the inclusion criteria for a full-text analysis and were subsequently included in the systematic review. The risk of bias was considered high in all studies. Undergraduate dental students demonstrated a greater preference for and better perception of NiTi instruments. NiTi instruments also resulted in less time for and better quality of the mechanical chemical preparation. These were associated with a lower incidence of accidents, such as canal ledges, transportations, and deviations, as well as a higher incidence of instrument fractures.
