Modeling capacity of ENDOflash files in simulated root canals.

With the development of rotary nickel-titanium files and their applications in Endodontics, the concepts of root canal preparation have changed. The objective of this research is to evaluate the transportation of simulated root canals caused by stainless steel ENDOflash rotary files compared to nickel-titanium ProFile files (.04, .06 and Orifice Shapers). Twenty-four simulated root canals with a 30 degrees curvature were randomly divided into 2 groups and prepared with ENDOflash or ProFile files according to manufacturers' instructions. Comparison between the simulated root canals before and after instrumentation showed significant differences (p < 0.001) between the groups, with greater transportation observed with ENDOflash files. One case of deformation was observed with a ProFile instrument (#20/.04) and there were no fractures.[1]
