Relation between laboratory cantilever bending test and finite element analysis of five different nickel-titanium rotary instruments
Abstract Background Flexibility during bending is a critical feature that influences the performance and safety of endodontic nickel-titanium rotary instruments. Flexibility of the endodontic files could be assessed via laboratory test or indicated theoretically by finite element analysis (FEA). The...
