`
`Edge File TM with Fire-Wire TM Cyclic Fatigue Testing Study
`
`Introd u cti on
`
`Heat treatment is used to change the deformation and strength
`characteristics of metals and metal alloys. The purpose of this
`evaluation was to determine how EdgeEndo'sTM EdgeFileTM with
`"Fire-Wire""" NiTi files compared to various competitor NiTi
`endodontic rotary fi les performance when tested for cyclic fatigue.
`
`Materi a ls and M et hods
`
`EdgeEndoT" EdgeFileT" 20/06 with "Fire-Wire""" rotary files were
`
`COmpared to Dents ply Tulsa Denta~ 20/06 Vortex Blue®. Dentsply Tulsa Dental® 20/06

`performed at U.S. Endodontics in Johnson City, TN .

`
`fiGURE 1
`
`Thirty of each file listed above and on the chart in the results portion of this study was evaluated for cyclical fatigue .
`
`Cyclical fatigue test was performed using a custom test system (Fig . 1) with each file rotated at 500 RPM while 3mm of the file tip was inserted in a test
`block with a 90' curvature. Time to failure (seconds) was measured for each instrument.
`
`Res ult s
`
`Cyclical Fati gue
`
`Edge File TM with "Fire-Wire TM" rotary files yielded a greater mean time to failure (MTF) than other industry brands
`
`(See Chart below). EdgeEndoT" "Fire-WireTw' files had the greatest mean time to failure at 655.6 seconds, with the lowest MTF at 80.9 seconds.
