“…While Wave one Gold is exposed to heat treatment before and after file machining [9]. It was documented that heat treatment of file after machining overcome the machining procedure defects and modify the crystalline phase with a significant increase in flexibility [25]. As for Hyflex EDM, it is fabricated by electrical discharge machining (EDM) followed by heat treatment which exhibited considerable amounts of the R-phase and martensite which increases flexibility [26].…”

BACKGROUND: Contemporary nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary endodontic instruments had a revolutionary impact on the success of root canal treatment. AIM: To evaluate the flexibility, microstructure and elemental analysis of four different recent NiTi rotary instruments, namely; Wave One Gold, TF adaptive, HyFlex EDM and Gr_Reciproc Blue compared to conventional Protaper Universal (F2). MATERIAL AND METHODS: The NiTi rotary files were subjected to cantilever bending test to evaluate their flexibility. The microstructural characteristics and elemental analysis were examined via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX). RESULTS: The TF adaptive, HyFlex EDM and Wave One Gold endodontic files showed significantly lower cantilever bending values (i.e., higher flexibility) than Protaper F2 and Gr_Reciproc Blue (p < 0.05). The SEM micrographs showed that the bulk of all examined files showed multiple striations due to the cutting process, on the other hand, their external surfaces were different: The Protaper Universal F2 showed multiple voids, while the TF Adaptive surface exhibited more uniform structure. The Hyflex EDM had a crater-like surface, whereas Wave one Gold showed machining grooves with minimum defects, while Reciproc Blue displayed machining grooves with random scratch lines. There was a significant difference in bulk and surface elemental analysis of the various examined files, yet composed mainly of the same elements. CONCLUSION: Chemical composition, heat treatment, manufacturing process and geometrical design of the NiTi rotary instrument have a great influence on their flexibility and microstructure.

“…The first is that of the modulus of elasticity (E), which in the context of the flexural rigidity, EI z , where the effect of the cross-section (size and shape) of the wire is manifest through the second moment of area, I z [Chap. 23,4], controls the forces which may be applied. The second is the formability: the ease with which a wire can be shaped as desired.…”

“…A number of other companies now market cobalt-chromium orthodontic wires, but no studies of their mechanical properties and the results of heat treatment have apparently been reported [23]. In view of the dearth of information, the tensile behavior of Elgiloy, in its various tempers, with and without heat treatment, was studied.…”

“…A furnace heat treatment for 10 min was said to achieve the same result. [23] In fact, RMO used to sell a "temper paste" that would flash when the desired temperature was reached. This product has been discontinued.…”

“…As a consequence, [the properties] of the heat-treated wire were unknown. [18] Supposedly, the required heat treatment can be performed easily with the aid of an electrical resistance-welding apparatus [23], with a paste to show when the appropriate conditions of temperature and time have been achieved. A furnace heat treatment for 10 min was said to achieve the same result.…”
