Book Sodium Hypochlorite s Effect on Nickel titanium Rotary Instruments and Its Effect on Resistance to Fracture

Download or read book Sodium Hypochlorite s Effect on Nickel titanium Rotary Instruments and Its Effect on Resistance to Fracture written by Michael Shane Smith and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of partial and total immersion in sodium hypochlorite on nickel-titanium rotary files and to determine whether resistance to fracture was influenced by the immersion time. One hundred K3 and 100 ProFile® rotary files were either partially or totally immersed in 5.25% sodium hypochlorite for zero, one, five, thirty, or sixty minutes. After immersion, files were subjected to cyclic fatigue testing. Time to fracture was recorded and analyzed by a two-way ANOVA. Tukey's honest significant difference was used to identify any differences in immersion times. Within all ProFile groups and partial immersion K3 groups, there was no significant decrease in time to fracture with increased immersion time in sodium hypochlorite. Only the K3 total immersion groups revealed a significant decrease in time to fracture with increased immersion time in sodium hypochlorite.

Book The Effect of Sodium Hypochlorite on Nickel Titanium Rotary Instruments and Its Effect on Resistance to Fracture

Download or read book The Effect of Sodium Hypochlorite on Nickel Titanium Rotary Instruments and Its Effect on Resistance to Fracture written by Katrina H. Bang-Schaefer and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of immersion in sodium hypochlorite on nickel titanium rotary files and determine whether resistance to fracture was influenced by the immersion time. 70 ISO size 25 0.04 taper nickel titanium K3 and Profile rotary instruments were immersed in 5.25% sodium hypochlorite for 1, 5, 15, 30, 60, and 120 minutes (n=5 each). Resistance to fracture was tested by rotating files at a 30 degree angle at 350 rpm in a universal testing machine. Time to fracture was recorded and analyzed by a two-way ANOVA. Within both file types, there was a decreased time to fracture with increased immersion time in sodium hypochlorite. K3 files required an average of 327 rotations to fracture, while Profiles required 420 rotations to fracture. Profiles required significantly more rotations to failure than K3 files.

Book Management of Fractured Endodontic Instruments

Download or read book Management of Fractured Endodontic Instruments written by Theodor Lambrianidis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This superbly illustrated book provides detailed information on the causes of instrument failure during endodontic treatment, the factors influencing the management of such cases, and the diverse management options that may be employed to resolve the problem. Readers will find clear descriptions and comparative evaluation of the available methods, techniques, and devices. Complications that may arise during the management of fractured instruments are described, and the impact of retained file fragments on the prognosis of endodontic treatment is discussed. In addition, means of preventing iatrogenic errors from occurring in the first place (the best form of management) are explained, emphasizing that the risk of instrument failure is reduced if proper guidelines are carefully considered and followed. The book will assist both endodontists and general dental practitioners in achieving an optimal outcome when confronted with the time-consuming and challenging task of dealing with a fractured instrument within the root canal – a still frequent circumstance despite the plethora of improvements in instrument design, alloy composition, and manufacturing processes.
