To evaluate the cyclic fatigue resistance for the new reciprocating glide path file Wave one gold glider, Proglider, Pathfile and path glider komet.
Forty instruments were used in this study divided into four groups (n=10): G1: Path file, G2: Path glider komet, G3: Wave one gold glider, G4: Proglider. The instruments were tested for their cyclic fatigue resistance by an artificial canal 60° angle of curvature with a width of the canal was 1.5 mm and radius of curvature for both canals was 5 mm within a block, cyclic fatigue resistance data were analyzed with one way ANOVA and Tukey test.
There was a high significant difference (P<0.000) between tested instruments in ANOVA and Tukey test, with the highest cyclic fatigue resistance value produced by Wave one gold glider.
Wave one gold glider reciprocating path glider instruments had the highest cyclic fatigue resistance with high flexibility.
