Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the resistance to cyclic fatigue of Hyflex EDM, Woodpecker Endo Plus and Flexicon Edge Endo files in continuous motion. Subjects and Methods: A total of 5 new size 25.06 taper Hyflex EDM files, Woodpecker Endo Plus 25.06 taper files and Flexicon Edge Endo 25.06 taper files each were selected. A cyclic fatigue testing device with stainless steel canal with a 90°angle of curvature; curvature starting at 6 mm from the tip was used. All instruments were rotated till fracture occurred and time till fracture of each instrument was recorded in seconds. Statistical Analysis Used: Data were analysed using ANOVA. Results: In continuous motion, every file demonstrated superior resilience to cyclic fatigue. Hyflex EDM primary files displayed maximum resistance to cyclic fatigue both in continuous motion. Followed by Flexicon Edge Endo and Woodpecker Endo Plus files exhibiting least resistance. Conclusion: In comparison to other files, Hyflex EDM files demonstrated improved cyclic fatigue resistance at apical curvature.
