This study investigated the cyclic fatigue, bending, torsional resistance and angular deflection of Pro-R 25.08, Logic RT 25.08, MK Retreatment 25.08 (MK RT) and ProTaper Retreatment D2 instruments. Cyclic fatigue test was performed until fracture in a custom stainless-steel device with water bath equipment to simulate body temperature. Fracture time was recorded. A number of cycles were calculated. Resistance to bending at 45°, torsional resistance and angular deflection were evaluated. The fracture surfaces were examined by scanning electron microscopy. Statistical analysis was performed with one-way ANOVA and Tukey and Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn tests. Pro-R and Logic RT presented the highest cyclic fatigue (P < 0.05). D2 had higher strength to bend than Pro-R and Logic RT (P < 0.05). Logic RT showed the highest torque and angular deflection (P < 0.05), without differences when compared to D2 (P > 0.05). Instrument performances were dependent on their geometrical features and heat treatments.
本研究调查了 Pro-R 25.08、Logic RT 25.08、MK Retreatment 25.08(MK RT)和 ProTaper Retreatment D2 器械的循环疲劳、弯曲、抗扭和角度偏转。在具有水浴设备的定制不锈钢装置中进行循环疲劳测试,直至发生断裂,以模拟体温。记录断裂时间。计算了一定数量的循环次数。评估了 45°弯曲阻力、抗扭阻力和角度偏转。通过扫描电子显微镜检查断裂表面。采用单因素方差分析和 Tukey、Kruskal-Wallis 和 Dunn 检验进行统计分析。Pro-R 和 Logic RT 表现出最高的循环疲劳(P < 0.05)。D2 的弯曲强度高于 Pro-R 和 Logic RT(P < 0.05)。Logic RT 显示出最高的扭矩和角度偏转(P < 0.05),与 D2 相比没有差异(P > 0.05)。器械性能取决于其几何特征和热处理。
