Abstract: Introduction: The chemical-mechanical preparation performed by endodontic instruments and auxiliary chemical substances (ACS) is a primordial step aimed at the disinfection and preparation of root canals in endodontic treatment. However, they can influence the formation of microcracks and the removal of root dentin. Objective: To analyze the removal of root dentin and the formation of microcracks after the use of different SQA (chlorhexidine and sodium hypochlorite) and endodontic instruments with regressive or continuous conicity, by means of micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Methodology: 40 human mandibular premolars were used, micro-CT scanned and paired according to the surface area and volume of the canals in 4 groups (n=10), according to the instrument and SQA used: reciprocating instrument with taper regression + 5.25% sodium hypochlorite; reciprocating instrument with regressive taper + 2% chlorhexidine; Reciprocating instrument with continuous taper + hypochlorite D 5.25% sodium and reciprocating instrument with continuous taper + 2% chlorhexidine. After preparation, the teeth were scanned again and the percentage of dentin removed and the presence of cracks before and after the instrumentation and irrigation protocols were calculated. The two-factor ANOVA test was used to compare the groups (p < 0.05). Results: It was observed that the percentage of dentin removed was similar (1.4 to 1.8%) regardless of the instruments (p = 0.22) and the SQA used (p = 0.79). All cracks identified after the preparation of the canals were present before the preparation, and no new cracks were formed. Conclusion: The different instruments and SCS did not influence the removal of root dentin and the formation of microcracks in the root dentin.
