ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to develop a new instrument to measure the mechanical properties of rotary endodontic Ni-Ti files (ProTaper Gold F2, ProTaper Ultimate F2, and HyFlex EDM Onefile), and to evaluate the overall utility of the device. The instrument was capable of analyzing the 6-axis force/torque generated by the files during cyclic dynamic movement in a metal curved artificial root canal, and doing automatic cyclic dynamic filing in a resin root canal with a preset vertical force limit by adopting a negative feedback mechanism. By analyzing the 6-axis force/torque, we were able to estimate the position and contact points of the files in the curved root canal. ProTaper Gold showed the highest force/torque in all directions. HyFlex EDM had the highest hysteresis ratio, centering ratio value and NCF (number of cycles to fatigue fracture), while the lowest vertical force.
