Multimethod analysis of three rotary instruments produced by electric discharge machining technology

Emmanuel J. N. L. Silva et al.

Summary: This study aimed to compare three rotary instruments produced by the EDM process with the heat-treated ProTaper Gold system regarding design, metallurgy, mechanical properties and shaping ability. The results showed that HyFlex EDM, Neoniti, and EDMax rotary instruments had similar designs, metallurgy, and mechanical performances when compared with ProTaper Gold. However, there were no differences in their shaping ability.

Comparative analysis of reciprocating and flat-side heat-treated rotary single-file systems: Design, metallurgical characteristics, and mechanical performance

Jorge N. R. Martins et al.

Summary: This study compared two flat-side single-file rotary instruments with three single-file reciprocating systems through a multimethod assessment. The results showed that the flat-side rotary instruments underperformed the reciprocating instruments in terms of cyclic fatigue, maximum torque, angle of rotation, maximum buckling strength, and flexibility. Manufacturing inconsistencies were also observed in some of the flat-side instruments.

Jorge N. R. Martins et al.

Summary: The current study compares the F1 endodontic instruments from five different heat-treated rotary systems in terms of their design, metallurgical properties, and mechanical performance. It is found that the instruments have similar nickel/titanium ratio and overall design, but differ in their performance. Super Files Blue shows the best durability, while Premium Taper Gold and Go-Taper Flex are more flexible.

What Meaningful Information Are the Instruments Mechanical Testing Giving Us? A Comprehensive Review

Jorge N. R. Martins et al.

Summary: The mechanical strength and flexibility of instruments are traditionally evaluated through various tests, including cyclic fatigue, torsional, bending, buckling, and microhardness tests. Cyclic fatigue testing, in particular, can provide valuable information on the factors that may affect fatigue strength outcomes. Despite their importance, these tests are associated with limitations such as artificiality, simplicity, inconsistency, and low external validity. Efforts have been made to improve the reliability of the outcomes by incorporating settings that mimic clinical conditions.

Comparison of design, metallurgy, mechanical performance and shaping ability of replica-like and counterfeit instruments of the ProTaper Next system

J. N. R. Martins et al.

Summary: The study compared the ProTaper Next system with a replica-like and a counterfeit system in terms of design, metallurgy, mechanical performance, and shaping ability. The results showed similarities in nickel-titanium ratio and maximum torque to fracture among the systems, but differences in design, phase transformation temperatures, and mechanical behavior. The counterfeit instruments had lower cyclic fatigue resistance compared to the genuine system.

Design, metallurgical features, mechanical performance and canal preparation of six reciprocating instruments

J. N. R. Martins et al.

Summary: This study compared six reciprocating instruments in terms of their geometric design, metallurgical characteristics, mechanical behavior, and ability to prepare root canals. While the instruments had similarities in metal composition and unprepared canal area, they showed differences in phase transformation temperatures and geometric design. The study found that there were variations in the overall geometric design, phase transformation temperatures, and mechanical resistance parameters among the instruments.
