SP-18 Heat Treated NiTi Rotary Files and Superior Results

1 (4 votes)

CE: 0

Heat treated NiTi rotary files have shown improved properties compared to non-heat treated NiTi rotary files. They can also be used in more challenging cases, give a better canal shape and have a slightly different feel when using them. This presentation will discuss the advantages and how best to use heat treated NiTi rotary files during endodontic treatment. It will also show cyclic fatigue, bending and torsional tests comparing heat treated to non-heated treated NiTi rotary files. 

At the conclusion, participants should be able to:

  • Discuss the differences between heat treated and non-heat treated NiTi rotary file and how heat treated NiTi rotary files can give superior results in endodontic treatment.
  • Describe how the cyclic fatigue, bending and torsional test results comparing heat treated NiTi rotary files to non-heat treated NiTi rotary files have a relationship to endodontic treatment.
  • Perform better endodontic cases using heat treated NiTi rotary files and how they allow you to treat seemly improbable endodontic cases compared to non-heat treated NiTi rotary files.
