Popis: Aim: To assess the effect of different torque values on cyclic fatigue resistance of K3 rotary nickeltitanium (NiTi) files. Methods: Eighty K3 files, size 25 mm, taper 0.04 were divided in 4 groups according to different torques (0.5, 1, 2 and 6 Ncm) and were submitted to a cyclic fatigue test. This test was performed with a device that allowed the file to rotate inside a stainless steel artificial curved canal, simulating the pecking motion. Files rotated until fracture occurred and time to failure was recorded in seconds with a stopwatch. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey tests (p
