Total treatment time including irrigation and obturation averaged 42.6±12.4 minutes for reciprocating versus 52.8±14.6 minutes for rotary procedures (p<0.001) File separation occurred in 4 cases (3.6%) in the rotary group compared to 1 case (0.9%) in the reciprocating group, though this difference did not reach statistical significance (p=0.176).
