Abstract

The impact of 5.25 percent NaOCL on the resistance offered by TruNatomy, Hero Gold and ProtaperGold against cyclic fracture as against the treatment of NiTi rotary files with distilled water is of interest to dentists. Inside the stainless steel blocks, man-made canals were created for the purpose of testing the cyclic fatigue. 60 endodontic files were taken as study specimens. It was observed that values of number of cycles to fracture in NaOCl among three file systems were in the order of TruNatomy (1053.50 ± 134.81)>Hero Gold (652.66 ± 58.66) > ProtaperGold (494.50 ± 47.69). The TruNatomy file system reflected greatest cyclic fatigue resistance. It was also found that cyclic fatigue resistance in NiTi rotary files studied here is not hampered by 5.25% NaOCl.
