Summary

The goal of the endodontic treatment is to make the root canal system free of the bacteria and its products to maximum extent, to allow healing of the inflamed apical periodontium.

Nickel titanium files have super elasticity, better cutting efficiency, and shapes canal anatomy more efficiently as compared to stainless steel manual files. Regardless of these properties, main shortcoming of Ni-Ti based files is their tendency to fracture unexpectedly inside the root canals. This abrupt file separation could be due to mechanical friction or chemical stimuli leading to the damage of surface contents (wear) and formation of micro cracks, waviness, scratches or roughness.

Sodium Hypochlorite is considered a gold standard irrigant in endodontics that renders bacteria free root canal system, but it has been postulated to have many shortcomings and certain concentrations of Sodium Hypochlorite affects the properties of Ni-Ti rotary instruments.

This clinical trial aimed to compare the physical properties (dimensional stability, deformation, surface roughness and metal slivering) and impact of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite on these physical properties of Protaper Gold finishing F2 Files and Dia-X ProTaper finishing D4 files when subjected to root canal preparation.
