The fracture evaluation of NiTi SMA endodontics files

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fracture resistance and the fracture surface of NiTi SMA engine-driven endodontics files submitted to clockwise torsion. The maximum angular deflection and the maximum torque were analyzed without axial loading. The helical plastic deformations and the f...
