Cyclic and Torsional Fatigue Resistance of Heat Treated and Conventional Super Elastic Nickel-Titanium Files

Abstract

Fracture of nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary instruments can occur via either cyclic or torsional fatigue. The purpose of this study was to compare the torsional and cyclic fatigue resistance of various NiTi rotary files
