Evaluation of stress distribution in nickel-titanium rotary instruments with different geometrical designs subjected to bending and torsional load: a finite element study

Abstract Introduction Geometrical designs of nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary instruments have a considerable influence on their mechanical performance, and thereby have the tendency to fracture. Aim To evaluate the effect of cross-sectional geometry, pitch, taper, and off-center cross-section on the s...
