Experimental and 2-Step Finite Element Analysis of Cyclic Fatigue Resistance of Conventional and Heat-Treated Rotary Endodontic Nickel-Titanium Instruments

Experimental and 2-Step Finite Element Analysis of Cyclic Fatigue Resistance of Conventional and Heat-Treated Rotary Endodontic Nickel-Titanium Instruments

Background: To evaluate the cyclic fatigue resistance of rotary endodontic nickel-titanium instruments using both experimental and finite element methods. Methodology: Four different proprietary rotary endodontic instruments (PTG, PTU, VB, and TRN) were subjected to cyclic fatigue tests through a cu...
