Abstract Background The objective of this study was to assess the bending and torsional properties of two nickel-titanium endodontic files with equivalent sizes and various designs and alloys using finite element analysis, ProTaper Next®X2 (PTN) size 25 with 0.06 taper and WaveOne Gold® (WOG) primary size 25 with 0.07 taper. Methodology Two-dimensional models of the two files PTN and WOG were created using computer tomography scanning and stereomicroscope to produce a three-dimensional digital model. Instrument behavior under bending or torsional conditions was numerically analyzed in SolidWorks software package. Result ProTaper Next® revealed higher flexibility than WaveOne Gold® when exposed to cantilever bending but showed higher stress accumulation than WOG. In terms of torsional resistance, PTN also revealed higher torsional resistance than WOG. Conclusion The geometry of the instrument, thermomechanical treatment of the alloy, and its composition affect the mechanical behavior (bending and torsion) of nickel titanium rotary files. Hence, being aware of these behavioral differences, each clinician will be able to use the adequate file according to the clinical situation in addition to the manufacturer’s instructions.

ABSTRACT Objective: To biomechanically test a new elastic slot system and V-wire mechanics. Materials and Methods: Conventional twin and self-ligating brackets and the new elastodynamic bracket were biomechanically tested. The conventional brackets had a rectangular 0.022′′ slot and the new elastodynamic bracket had a V-slot, a new slot geometry. Torque measurements were performed with 0.018′′ × 0.025′′ and 0.019′′ × 0.025′′ stainless steel (ss) archwires. A nickel-titanium V wire was used for the biomechanical measurements on the elastodynamic bracket. The measurements were done with the aid of a six-component measuring sensor. Results: The results of the biomechanical testing revealed play in the brackets with rectangular slot geometry. The V slot in the elastodynamic bracket assured that the wire fit perfectly in the slot. Dynamic moments of 5 to 10 Nmm were transmitted without any play. No permanent deformation of the slot occurred in the new elastodynamic bracket because of the elastic slot. Conclusion: Control of torque for three-dimensional positioning of the teeth in the dental arch with rectangular slot geometry as used in straight-wire therapy is difficult. If torque is bent into the wire, because of the play there is a high risk that either too much, too little, or no moment is transmitted to the teeth. The V-slot archwire/bracket geometry in conjunction with nickel titanium composition has no play and allows a reduction of forces and moments with direct and continuous transmission of torque in the bracket. Because of the elasticity of the bracket, there is an upper limit to the moment possible.

Abstract Objective: To test the hypothesis that there is no difference in the effect of different continuous moderate to very heavy forces on root resorption or amount of tooth movement. Materials and Methods: In the study, 10, 25, 50 and 100 g mesial force were applied to the maxillary first molars of rat using nickel titanium closed-coil springs for 3 days, 14 days, and 28 days. The molars were extracted and the surface areas of the root resorption craters were measured using scanning electron microscope. The depths of the root resorption craters were measured using a three-dimensional laser scanning microscope. Tooth movement of the maxillary first molar was measured in relation to the maxillary second molar on digitized lateral cephalometric radiographs. Results: Three days after force application, the tooth movement was not proportionally related to force magnitude. However, 14 days of force application resulted in significantly more tooth movement in the 10, 25, and 50 g force groups than in the 100 g force group. A force application of 10 g produced significantly more tooth movement at 28 days than all the other three force applications. The largest and deepest resorption craters were observed in the disto-buccal root followed by disto-palatal, middle-buccal, middle-palatal, and mesial root. Root resorption and tooth movement increased over time from 3 to 28 days. As heavier forces were applied, greater root resorption occurred. Conclusion: The hypothesis is rejected. The light mesially oriented forces, as applied in this study, produced more tooth movement and less root resorption compared with heavier forces.
