Abstract
During root canal instrumentation, nickel-titanium rotary instruments are subjected to continual stresses inside the canal due to its anatomy and the hardness of the dentin they must cut. They must therefore be both stress-resistant and elastic. This study aimed to compare the mechanical behavior of two nickel-titanium rotary instruments (ProTaper and ProFile) by applying the finite element analysis method to produce a numerical evaluation. The nonlinear mechanical behavior of the alloy was taken into account during the study. The distribution of stresses due to torsional and bending moments was compared in the two experimental models. The ProFile model was found to be more elastic than the ProTaper model. Under equal loads, the ProTaper model showed lower and better distributed stresses than the ProFile model.
