Resumo
The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the occurrence of apical transportation after root canal
instrumentation using only K-Flexofiles or K-Flexofiles intercalated with K-Flexofile Golden Mediums. For
this purpose, the degree (Schneider�s method) and the radius of the curvature was recorded before and after
instrumentation. The results showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the
techniques. The correlation between the degree and the radius of curvature of the root canal was not
consistent, nor was there a relationship between the original radius of curvature and the apical transportation.
However, determination of curvature by use of its radius has proved to be an effective method.
