Abstract
The effect of sterilization and irrigants on the cutting ability of stainless steel files was determined. Dry heat or salt sterilization had no effect, but autoclave sterilization caused a reduction in their cutting ability. Sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, and EDTA-urea peroxide (UP) irrigants caused a decrease in the cutting ability of the files, but the saline irrigant had no effect.
