cyclic fatigue

Differences in cyclic fatigue lifespan between two different heat treated NiTi endodontic rotary instruments: WaveOne Gold vs EdgeOne Fire

Aim of this study is to investigate the cyclic fatigue resistance of the Gold treated WaveOne Gold and the Firewire treated EdgeOne Fire instruments. The null hypotesis was that there were no differences between the lifespan of Gold treated and FireWire treated instruments when subjected to cyclic fatigue tests.

A comparative study of mechanical resistance of two reciprocating files

Background: To evaluate the cyclic fatigue resistance of two different Nickel-Titanium instruments, Reziflow (Komet, Brasseler GmbH & Co., Lemgo, Germany) and WaveOne Gold (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland). Material and Methods: Two groups of 20 different NiTi endodontic instruments of identical tip size of 0.25 mm were tested; Reziflow and Wave-One Gold primary. Cyclic fatigue testing was performed in a stainless steel simulated root canal manufactured by reproducing the instrument's size and taper.

Influence of different cross-section on cyclic fatigue resistance of two nickel-titanium rotary instruments with same heat treatment: An in vitro study

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of the cross-sectional design surface in improving the cyclic fatigue resistance by comparing two nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary instruments with the same heat-treatment and grinding procedure. Materials and Methods: A total of 40 new NiTi instruments (20 S-One 25.06 taper and 20 AF Blue S4 25.06 taper) were tested in the present study. Both instruments were rotated at 300 rpm and with a torque setting of 2 Ncm) using an endodontic motor in the same artificial canal (90° angle of curvature and 3 mm radius).

Fatigue resistance of two Nickel-Titanium rotary instruments before and after ex vivo root canal treatment

Aim: The aim of the present study is twofold: to evaluate cyclic fatigue resistance differences of two different nickel-titanium rotary instruments, brand new and after an ex vivo instrumentation of single root extracted teeth. Materials and methods: Twenty new S One 20.06 were randomly divided into two groups. The first group (n = 10) was immediately subjected to a cyclic fatigue test (S One Group I). The second group (n = 10) (S one Group II) performed a cyclic fatigue test after three ex vivo root canal treatment with a single-file technique.

Classification and cyclic fatigue evaluation of new kinematics for endodontic instruments

This study evaluated the effect of new motions of the motor TriAuto ZX2 on the cyclic fatigue of endodontic instruments. Vortex Blue 35.06 instruments were divided into four groups (n = 10) and tested for fatigue in a curved artificial canal (90° and 2 mm radius) using the following motions: continuous rotation (CR), Optimum Torque Reverse (OTR) set at 180° and the Optimum Glide Path (OGP), which was tested at 90° and 240°. The time to fracture (TTF) and the lengths of the fractured fragments were recorded.
