An In-Vitro Study to Examine the Effects of Location of File Curvature on Cyclic Fatigue Resistance of SS White DC Taper Rotary Nickel-Titanium Files
Abstract
There have been drastic changes in the ways that endodontists instrument root canals with the introduction of Nickel-Titanium (NiTi) endodontic files in the 1980's. As providers transitioned from instrumentation with stainless steel to NiTi, there were found to be fewer procedural errors. NiTi rotary files have significant advantages over classic stainless steel hand instruments. These include increased file flexibility, leading to less transportation of the canal, production of better centered canals, superior shaping ability, efficiency, and less instrument separation.
