Abstract

Aim: The purpose of the present research was to assess the comparison of the fracture resistance ability of various endodontic files like- Hyflex EDM, Neolix Neo NiTi, Protaper Next and Protaper Gold. Methodology: All the instruments were subjected to fracture test using a stainless-steel artificial canal. Time required for fracture as well as number of cycles to failure was calculated at 5 and 8 mm distance from the end of root canal tip. The fractured surfaces were then visualized using electron microscope. The data was analysed using student t-test and Weibull reliability estimation. Results: Hyflex EDM OneFile instruments showed significantly greater cyclic fatigue resistance than protaper Gold Primary instruments as well as protaper next and neolix NiTi. A significant difference was found between the groups for the length of the fracture 5 mm from the tip (P < 0.01). No significant difference was found between the groups for the length of the fracture 8 mm from the tip (P > 0.01). Conclusion: Hyflex EDM OneFile demonstrated the highest performance in terms of cyclic fatigue resistance.
