Shape memory alloys (SMAs) belong to a class of shape memory materials (SMMs), which
have the ability to 'memorise'or retain their previous form when subjected to certain stimulus …

Nickel-titanium rotary instruments are important adjuncts in endodontic therapy. This review
attempts to identify factors that influence shaping outcomes with these files, such as …

Shape memory alloys, and in particular NiTi alloys, are characterized by two unique
behaviors, thermally or mechanically activated: the shape memory effect and pseudo-elastic …

The purpose of this study was to analyze the type and frequency of defects in nickel-titanium
rotary endodontic files after routine clinical use, and to draw conclusions regarding the …

The fracture of endodontic instruments is a procedural problem creating a major obstacle to
normally routine therapy. With the advent of rotary nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments this …
