Introduction: Root canal treatment is achallenging procedure, it requires complete cleaning of the canals from debris. Several types of instruments are used for this purpose. This review tries to show the most efficient and the least time consuming by comparing manual instrumentation and rotary instrumentation in permanent teeth. Methods: Twenty five articles were reviewed for time and cleaning efficacy to compare manual instrumentation and rotary instrumentation in permanent teeth. Results: Many studies showed that rotary nickel-titanium (NiTi) systems provided shorter working time. And other studies revealed that both manual and rotary instrumentation resulted in the same cleanliness. Conclusion: Rotary NiTi instrumentation has less working time in comparison to manual instrumentation. But in regard to cleanliness no difference was found. Key words: Rotary, Hand-files, Manual, Engine driven, Nickel-Titanium, NiTi, Cleaning, and Time.
