“…Although all the instruments presented same tip sizes (#25), they had different cross-sections, taper, and thermal treatment of NiTi, which affected their mechanical properties (2,8,12,15,20). In agreement with our results, previous studies have shown that EDM size 25, .08 taper had higher cylic fatigue resistance than thermal treated NiTi instruments, such as PTG, HCM, WaveOne Gold, Reciproc Blue (9,11,12,20).…”
