文摘
This study aimed to investigate the torsional resistance of 2 reciprocating nickel-titanium instruments (Reciproc [VDW, Munich, Germany] and WaveOne [Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland]) operated at the maximum rotating angle in a proprietary motor.

Methods

With the file tip secured at various levels (3, 4, or 5 mm) of Reciproc R25 and WaveOne Primary, the distortion angles and torsional loads were monitored during counterclockwise movement at 2 rpm until fracture (n = 10 at each level) for a load-distortion graph. The rotation angles and loads at the beginning point of the plateau, the ultimate torsional strength, final fracture angle, and toughness were determined. The data were analyzed using 1-way analysis of variance and the Tukey post hoc test at α = .05. The lateral longitudinal aspect and the fracture cross-section of each specimen were examined by scanning electron microscopy after the test.

Results

The rotation angle at the beginning point of the plateau was significantly greater for a binding site farther away from the tip of the instrument for both systems (P < .05), and all were greater than 170° (preset in the dedicated motor from manufacturer). The ultimate strength and toughness also increased significantly at levels farther away from the instrument tip (P < .05). All specimens showed typical topographic features of torsional fracture, including the circular abrasion marks and fibrous dimples near the rotation center after the test.

Conclusions

It was determined that the 2 brands of reciprocating files are safe when operated at the rotational angle in the proprietary motor.
