The Effect of Multiple Autoclave Sterilization on the Cyclic Fatigue of Three Heat-Treated Nickel-Titanium Rotary Files: EdgeFile X7, Vortex Blue, and TRUShape
Sharroufna and Mashyakhy evaluated the effect of 10 cycles of autoclave sterilization on the cyclic fatigue resistance of three heat-treated nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary file systems: EdgeFile® X7 (EdgeEndo), Vortex Blue, and TRUShape. The instruments were tested in...
Shaping and Centering Ability, Cyclic Fatigue Resistance and Fractographic Analysis of Three Thermally Treated NiTi Endodontic Instrument Systems
Drukteinis et al. (2020) evaluated the shaping ability, centering accuracy, cyclic fatigue resistance, and fracture characteristics of three heat-treated nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary file systems: EdgeFile® X5 (EdgeEndo), HyFlex CM, and HyFlex EDM. Using...
The Relevance of Operative Torque and Torsional Resistance of Nickel‑Titanium Rotary Instruments: A Preliminary Clinical Investigation
Gambarini introduced the novel concept of "torque range"—the difference between a rotary file's operative torque (the torque generated during clinical canal preparation) and its torsional resistance (torque at fracture)—as a more clinically relevant measure of...
In Vivo Evaluation of Operative Torque Generated by Two Nickel-Titanium Rotary Instruments during Root Canal Preparation
Objectives This in vivo study evaluated the operative torque and preparation time of ProTaper NEXT (Dentsply Maillefer; Ballaigues, Switzerland) and EdgeFile X7 (EdgeEn-do; Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States) rotary systems during root canal prepa-ration of...
Torsional resistance of two nickel-titanium rotary instruments: A comparative study
This study explores how heat treatment less significantly influences (increasing or decreasing) torsional resistance when compared to the high increase in flexibility and fatigue resistance reported in many published articles. Moreover, torsional fracture occurs...
