RESUMO

The aim of this work was to evaluate the cyclic fatigue resistance of two different nickel-titanium rotary systems, K3 (Sybron Endo, EUA) and Endosequence (Brasseler, EUA), based on the number of uses. All rotary files which were selected had their conicity of 0,04, 25mm of length and tip diameter of 25, following ISO standardization. To reach the purposes, a specially developed apparatus to perform dynamic assays was employed. Each group was subdivided into 4 subgroups according to the number of uses, being established as follows: groups A0 and B0, instruments without any use; groups A1 and B1, instruments of a single use; groups A3 and B3, instruments of three uses and groups A5 and B5, instruments of five uses. Each subgroup was compound of 12 files, totalizing 96 rotary instruments between K3 and Endosequence. The simulation was conducted in resin artificial canals presenting curvature of 40 degrees and radius of 5 mm. All files were submitted to cyclic fatigue assays performed on an experimental apparatus where the instrument could reproduce a rotary instrumentation in curved canals. This equipment contains an timer, which records advance time per seconds, since the begin of movement until the file fracture, and also has a counter which registers, on a period of time, the cycle number accomplished by the pneumatic cylinder until the fracture time. A reducer contra-angle hand piece of 16:1 was used, activated by an electric motor on a speed of 350rpm and 2 Ncm of torque. Time was recorded by the counter coupled in the apparatus. Values were converted into seconds. The two-way analysis of variance was employed to statistical evaluation, among tested samples and we could observe that no statistical differences were found in relation to the number of uses. However, the K3 system showed higher resistance to flexural fatigue when compared to the Endosequence system (p <0,01).
