Ever since their introduction, nickel–titanium (NiTi) alloys have continued to revolutionize the
field of endodontics. They have considerable advantages over the conventional stainless …

Over the decades, a wide array of nickel–titanium (NiTi) instruments has been introduced for
shaping root canals. Each generation of instruments has had something new to offer and …

Rapid progress in material science and nanotechnology has led to the development of the
shape memory alloys (SMA) and the shape memory polymers (SMP) based functional …

Aim The purpose of this study was to compare the bending stiffness, cyclic fatigue, and
torsional fracture resistances of heat-treated and conventional nickel-titanium rotary …

Differences in mechanical properties between endodontic instruments might be related to
the chemical composition, phase constitution, or fabrication process of nickel–titanium (NiTi) …

Introduction New designs and alloys and different motions have been introduced to increase
the cyclic fatigue (CF) resistance of nickel-titanium (NiTi) files. The aim of this study was to …

Aim To compare the cyclic fatigue resistance of WaveOne Gold (Dentsply Tulsa Dental
Specialties, Tulsa, OK, USA) and Reciproc (VDW, Munich, Germany) reciprocating …
