Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: The fatigue resistance of mechanical nickel-titanium files was tested by phase-locked infrared flaw detection method, in order to timely detect instrument wear, providing reference for clinical safe use and timely abandonment of nickel-titanium files. METHODS: Twenty sets of mechanical nickel-titanium files were selected from Reciproc-Blue(RB), MTWO and S3 respectively, and resin simulated root canals with 60° and 90° bending were prepared, which were divided into 6 subgroups. The fatigue value after use, the number of uses before breaking and the length of fracture of file 25# of each group of files were recorded and compared with SPSS 26.0 software package. RESULTS: With the increase of the times of use, the fatigue value of the three kinds of files increased gradually. Among the two types of curved root canals, the number of uses before fracture in RB group was significantly increased compared with that in MTWO group and S3 group (P<0.05). The number of uses of the three kinds of files in the 90° curved root canal were significantly less than in the corresponding groups in the 60° curved root canal(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the length of fracture among the three kinds of files(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Phase-locked infrared flaw detection method can be used for non-destructive testing and quantitative analysis of the fatigue degree of nickel-titanium files.
