Understanding and evaluating the mechanical properties of nickel-titanium endodontic files

Differences in mechanical properties between endodontic instruments might be related to the chemical composition, phase constitution and fabrication process of nickel-titanium （NiTi） endodontic instruments. The awareness and knowledge of the mechanical properties of NiTi endodontic files and their association with the metallurgical properties will be useful for clinicians to understand the behavior of NiTi instruments in root canal and help them to make clinical decisions about which instruments are appropriate for root canal therapy. We will summarize the mechanical properties of NiTi endodontic instruments including the flexibility, torsional resistance, flexural resistance and cyclic fatigue of the conventional superelastic NiTi instruments and the most recently developed novel NiTi instruments with martensite and R-phase. The influence of the metallurgical properties and the thermomechanical processing on the mechanical properties will be discussed.
