Objective This study aimed to compare the centring ability of three different thermally treated continuous rotating systems in severely curved simulated canals. Methods Sixty single-curved canals in resin blocks were prepared by using the Twisted File (group TF, R-phase),ProTaper Next (group PTN, M-wire), Hyflex CM (group HCM, CM-wire), and Mtwo (group Mtwo, traditional nickel-titanium alloy) systems (n=15), and the preparation time was recorded. The reduction in the working length after the preparation was measured. The weight change in the resin block was measured using an electronic balance. Images of pre- and post-instrumentation were recorded by digital camera and then superimposed by Photoshop. The amount of resin removed was measured by ImageJ. The differences between the groups were determined using one-way ANOVA, the Kruskal-Wallis and post hoc Bonferroni tests. Results No significant difference was observed in the changes in working length in the four groups (P>0.05). The weight change in the resin block was highest in the group Mtwo (P<0.05), and those of the three other groups were not significantly different (P>0.05). No significant difference was observed in the transportation of the canal at the apical foramen and in the coronal plane portion among four nickel-titanium instruments (P>0.05). In the apical part of the curvature, the group TF had the least root canal transportation (P<0.05), and the group Mtwo had higher root canal transportation than the three other groups in each measurement point (P<0.05). The Twisted File and the ProTaper Next could complete the preparation in a shorter time than the Mtwo and the Hyflex CM (P<0.05). Conclusion All tested files could prepare and maintain the original shape of severely curved canals effectively. This study showed that the Twisted file, ProTaper Next, and Hyflex CM systems had better centring ability than the Mtwo system and that the Twisted file system was demonstrated to have superior shaping ability compared with the others in the apical part.
