  Background: This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of different techniques in removing Gutta-Percha (GP) and iRoot SP® sealer in a long-oval shaped canal using micro-Computed Tomography (micro-CT). Materials and methods: Forty-eight single-rooted mandibular premolars with single long oval straight canals were prepared using ProTaper Next® to size X3 (30/.06) and filled with GP and iRoot SP® using the hydraulic technique 2 mm short of the Working Length (WL). The sample was randomly divided into four groups (n=12) based on removal technique: Group 1: Pro Taper® Universal Retreatment system (PTU Rx); Group 2: PTU Rx with Xylol; Group 3: PTU Rx with Endo Success™ Retreatment Kit, ET25 tip and Group 4: PTU Rx with Xylol and ET25 tip of Endo Success™ Retreatment Kit.
