Abstract
In the last decades, the use of nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) rotary instruments has become the most effective and popular method among endodontists for shaping root canals, even if there are still concerns regarding the increased risks of intracanal breakage or weakening of the instruments.1,2 So manufacturers started to modify the cross-sectional geometrical aspects of the files in order to improve their resistance to torsional and cyclic fatigue. Design is a major feature in determining instruments' properties including cutting efficiency, removal of debris, stresses generated during instrumentation, and the relative resistance to these stresses; however, a perfect design is not existing and any change in design is likely to provide some advantages but also some disadvantages.3,4.
