Objective: Non surgical retreatment is considered as an conservative option over periapical surgery in case of persistent infections. Retreatment procedures should be performed faster and efficiently with appropriate instruments. The main objective of this study is to compare the time taken by two different rotary instruments in retrieving endodontic material from the root canal and to assess the amount of remaining gp on the root canal wall. Materials and Methods: A total of sixty extracted single rooted teeth were taken. Cleaning and shaping was done using Step Back technique by maintaining the master apical file size 40. Irrigation was done using 3% NaOCl and 17% EDTA to remove the smear layer. Paper points were used to dry the canals. Obturation was done using lateral compaction technique with sealer being AH plus. The teeth were divided into two groups: Group I- Protaper universal retreatment files and Group II- Solite RS3 files. Stop clock was used to measure the time taken to retrieve the Gp and CBCT was used to assess the remaining gp on the root canal wall. Independent t test was used to check the statistical significance. Results: It can be inferred from the results that comparatively more time was taken by Solite RS3 files over protaper universal files in retrieving the gp.However, there is no significant difference between the files (p<0.05). Conclusion: Hence it can be concluded within the limitations of the study that Solite RS3 files have taken less time to retrieve the gp compared to protaper universal files.
