Abstrakt: The development of rotary files and other endodontic instrument techniques have revolutionised treatment by enhancing canal preparation and producing rounder, smoother canals that are constructed of Nickel-Titanium (NiTi) alloy. There are two types of movements in these instruments: rotary continuous and reciprocating. Rotary continuous movements involve torsion and flexion, and can cause instrument fractures. An alternative approach to avoid the issue is proposed, which involves reciprocating movement. The present literature review compares the incidence of dentinal crack formation in root canal walls when using stainless steel and NiTi rotary systems. It highlights the potential complications, such as tooth fracture and increased bacterial susceptibility due to contact between instruments and dentinal walls. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
