Background and Aims: The present investigation was conducted on the evaluation of the microstructure, phase transformation behavior, mechanical properties, and fatigue resistance of nickel-titanium rotary endodontic files. The main purpose of this investigation was to find the effect of microstructural parameters on the performance of these files.
Materials and Methods: Three rotary tools with brand names Denco, Edgeendo, and Eighteeth were studied. To evaluate the microstructure and transformation behavior of tools, metallography, X-ray diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetry methods were used. The bending test was used to check the behavior of superelasticity and memory and the microhardness test was used to evaluate the hardness of the samples. Also, cyclic fatigue behavior in a mold containing a simulated tooth canal was investigated and calculated by parametric statistical analysis. The fracture surface of the samples was also studied by scanning electron microscope.
Results: Analyses revealed the existence of a high volume fraction of R phase in the microstructure of the Edgeendo file. Rotary files with higher volume fraction of martensitic phase showed higher shape memory effect and fatigue resistance. Denco and Edgeendo rotary files with better surface quality and high volume fraction of martensitic phases in the microstructure showed better fatigue resistance compared with the Eighteeth file. In all the results, the P-value was less than 0.05.
Conclusion: Multiphase microstructure containing austenite and martensite together with appropriate phase transformation and hardness of the alloy have key roles on functional properties of rotary files. This study provides dentists with a deeper understanding of the fatigue behavior and mechanical properties of these files, enabling them to make more informed decisions in choosing the appropriate instruments for endodontic treatment.
