ABSTRACT
NiTi endodontic instruments for glide path are the most susceptible to fractures inside the root canal, mainly as a result of high torsional stress. Objective:
The present study investigated the resistance to torsion and angular deflection of instruments destined for the glide path ProGlider #16.02; T-File #17.02 and the MK Life #16.02. Materials andmethods:
Thirty rotating NiTi glide path instruments (n=10) with 25mm lengths were selected. The torsion test was performed based on ISO 3630-01 (1992). Three millimeters from the tip of the instruments, it was attached to a small load cell by a lever arm connected to the torsion shaft. Torsional strength and angular deflection were evaluated. Fracture surfaces were examined by scanning electron microscopy with magnifications of 1000x and 5000x in the cross section, and 50x in the lateral section. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis H test, followed by the Down's post hoc test.Results:
The ProGlider instrument showed greater torsional strength (p<0.05) compared to the T-File (p<0.05) and MK Life (p<0.05), respectively. However, the T-File showed greater angular deflection (p<0.05) than the other groups tested.Conclusion:
It can be concluded that the ProGlider instrument presented greater torque for the fracture, while the T-File instrument presented greater angular deflection.Palavras-chave
