Objective This study aimed to evaluate the influence of the NiTi wire in Conventional NiTi (ProTaper Universal PTU) and Controlled Memory NiTi (ProTaper Gold PTG) instrument systems on the quality of root canal preparation. Material and Methods Twelve mandibular molars with separate mesial canals were scanned using a high-definition microcomputed tomography system. The PTU and PTG instruments...

Since the end of the nineteenth century, automated root canal instrumentation has been available, but systems had many problems. The challenges of increased canal blockage, instrument breakage, and insufficient canal debridement were related to the use of stainless steel instruments and have been dramatically improved with the introduction of nickel-titanium (NiTi) files. The first useable NiTi...

INTRODUCTION This article aims to evaluate how different superelastic nickel-titanium (NiTi) alloys determine the static mechanical performance of endodontic files during bending and torsion. METHODS Two NiTi rotary instruments with similar geometries and equal cross sections, ProFile GT (GT) and a GT Series X (GTX), were selected. The latter file is made from M-Wire, a NiTi alloy that, accor...

The aim of this study was to analyze the effect taper and apical diameter nickel–titanium (NiTi) endodontic rotary files on dynamic cyclic fatigue resistance. A total 50 unused conventional NiTi wire alloy instruments were used in study. All submitted a custom-made device until fracture occurred. time failure, number cycles pecking movements, length fractured file tip analyzed using analysis va...

background: nickel–titanium (niti) rotary instrumentation carries a risk of fracture, mainly as a result of fl exural (fatigue fracture) and torsional (shear failure) stresses. this risk might be reduced by creating a glide path before niti rotary instrumentation. the aim of this study was to compare various root canal parameters with the new waveone single-fi le reciprocating system in mesial ...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between fatigue life and resonance frequency (RF) of various types of nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary instruments. In addition, the influence of NiTi instruments with different manufacturing methods on cyclic loading was evaluated by using RF as a parameter. METHODS Twenty-eight ProFile instruments and 10 Twisted File instru...

INTRODUCTION The use of reciprocating movement was claimed to increase the resistance of nickel-titanium (NiTi) file to fatigue in comparison with continuous rotation. Recently 2 new brands of NiTi files have been marketed for use in a RM mode. The purpose of this study was to compare the cyclic fatigue resistance and torsional resistance of these 2 files, Reciproc and WaveOne. METHODS Cyclic...

Background and aims: Widely application of rotary files for endo treatment would force us to obtain an accurate understanding about the characteristics drawbacks these instruments. Therefore in this study, effects immersion NiTi M2 file deconex sodium hypochlorite solution on cyclic fatigue resistance was investigated Material methods: In exprimental 45 NITI were divided three groups I) control...
