Introduction: An experimental study was carried out to compare the effect of the manual system and the rotary
system on the conformation of curved conduits. Methodology: A sample of 40 mesial roots of lower first molars
was randomized into two equal groups: group manual system of K-files and group rotary system FGK Race®.
The radius of the final curvature vs. the initial curvature was compared using the Autocat 2015 program. The
t-test with a significance of 0.05 was used. Results: The curvature radius varied significantly for both the manual
system and the rotary FGK Race® (p = 0.0001 and p = 0.0013, respectively). In addition, the manual system
produced greater variation in the radius of the curvature when compared to the rotary system 2.23mm vs. 1.27mm
respectively; p = 0.13. Conclusion: Both systems produced modification on the conformation of the conduits of the
mesial roots; however, in the comparison between both systems said differences were not significant.
