Abstract: 

Endodontic therapy aims at cleaning and shaping the root canal, minimizing the amount of bacteria and their by-products present, as well as allowing an efficient sealing of the system, thus eliminating infection, preventing or curing apical periodontitis. The success of endodontic treatment depends on several factors, and root canal preparation is extremely important, as the conical shape given to the canal during instrumentation will help in the effectiveness of other procedures, such as facilitating irrigation and aspiration and three-dimensional obturation. root canal system. The aim of this study is to analyze the reciprocating systems in endodontics and which conducts are most used and appropriate. A search was performed in the PubMed database to identify available investigations from 2009 to 2019. The following keywords were used in the search: '' Reciprocating '' OR '' Reciprocation. '' The research was limited to dental publications written in English and Portuguese. An additional hand search was extensively performed in the Journal of Endodontics; International Journal of Endodontics; Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology and Endodontology; Australian Endodontic Journal; British Dental Journal; and Journal of American Dental Association, specializing in the subject by citing selected studies and review articles available. The success of endodontic treatment depends on several factors, and root canal preparation is extremely important, as the conical shape given to the canal during instrumentation will help in the effectiveness of other procedures, such as facilitating irrigation and aspiration and three-dimensional obturation. root canal system. However, when bacteria are present inside the root canal, they are also found in the dental tubules, so it is recommended to remove part of the infected dentin by instrumentation.
