Abstract:
Background This study aims to analyze the phase transformation behavior and evaluate the effect of different temperatures on the fracture strength of files. Methodology A total of 108 files were used, and cyclic fatigue tests were performed on HyFlex EDM, VDW.ROTATE, and TruNatomy at three different temperatures (+4°C, +35°C, and +60°C) The time to fracture of files was measured, and the number of cycles was calculated. In addition, the fractured fragment lengths were measured. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare the data that were not normally distributed according to groups. The Mann-Whitney U test was performed for comparisons. P-values <0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results As the temperature increased for all files, the number of cycles to fracture (NCF) decreased. NCF was significantly higher for ROTATE at 4°C and 60°C and HyFlex EDM at 35°C. Conclusions The resistance to cyclic fatigue in all files decreased significantly as the temperature increased.
