Effect from usage and autoclave sterilization on torsional fracture resistance of heat-treated nickel-titanium instruments: an in-vitro study

This study aimed to evaluate the effect from usage and autoclaving on torsional fracture resistance of heat-treated nickel-titanium rotary instruments. ProTaper Gold F2 (PG) and TruNatomy Prime (TN) were selected. For group-N, new files were tested to make a baseline torsional resistance. For group-...
