Cyclic Fatigue and Torsional Failure of EdgeTaper Platinum Endodontic Files at Simulated Body Temperature   Ahmed Jamleh, BDS, MSc, PhD, Amjad Alghaihab, DMD, Abdulmohsen Alfadley, BDS, MSc, FRCD(C), Hussam Alfawaz, BDS, MS, Abdullah Alqedairi, BDS, MS, and...

Results: Values are considered approximate (~) when plate counts were outside of the statistically accurate range of 25-250 colony forming units (CFU)/plate for bacteria and yeast and 8-80 CFU/plate for mold. Less than symbols(<) are applied to recovery values...

Results: The spectra shown in Figure 1 shows that sodium hypochlorite (blue line) has an absence of absorbance past 400 nm in wavelength. The same observation is made when EdgeMix was mixed with sodium hypochlorite (green line). Furthermore, since the absorbance...

Highlights •Cyclic resistance, torsional resistance, and bending stiffness of glide path files made of different alloys were compared using custom devices. •EdgeGlidePath made from heat-treated wire showed higher cyclic resistance than ProGlider and One G. •One G made...
