EFFECT OF 4 DIFFERENT IRRIGATION MEDIA ON CYCLIC FATIGUE OF 2 DIFFERENT FILES IN DOUBLE CURVED SIMULATED CANAL

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of four different irrigation media on the cyclic fatigue of two different files within a double curved simulated canal. Cyclic fatigue is a critical factor affecting the longevity and performance of endodontic files, and the irrigation media used during root canal procedures can influence their mechanical properties. The research aims to assess the impact of various irrigation solutions on the cyclic fatigue resistance of two commonly used endodontic files in a simulated canal with double curves. The files will be subjected to cyclic fatigue testing in the presence of four irrigation media, and the results will provide valuable insights into the selection of appropriate irrigation solutions for optimizing file performance and extending their clinical lifespan.
