Abstract
ABSTRACT
Introduction: This study compares the cyclic fatigue resistance of files made of gold technology, such as ProTaper Gold F2 and WaveOne Gold Primary files, and files made of M-Wire technology, such as ProTaper Next X2 and WaveOne files.
Materials and Methods: A total of 45 files were used in this study, which were classified into 4 groups. Cyclic fatigue tests were conducted using a cyclic loading testing machine, with an artificial canal made of stainless steel (angle of curvature: 45°; curvature radius: 5 mm). All rotary instruments were allowed to reciprocate and rotate until complete fracture, and the fracture time was recorded in seconds using a stop watch. To prevent human error, the experiments were also video-recorded.
Results: Gold-Wire files (WaveOne Gold and ProTaper Gold) demonstrated longer time to fracture than that M-Wire files (WaveOne and ProTaper Next) (P < 0.005). In addition, WaveOne files showed more time to fracture than ProTaper Next files (P < 0.005). Fracture surface evaluation coincide with our results.
Conclusions: Under the conditions of this study, the gold alloy files resisted cyclic fatigue better than the M-Wire alloy files, In addition, WaveOne files resist cyclic fatigue better than ProTaper Next files.
