Abstract:ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to quantify the surface area, volume and specific
surface area of endodontic files employing quantitative X-ray micro computed
tomography (mXCT). Material and MethodsThree sets (six files each) of the Flex-Master Ni-Ti system (Nº 20, 25 and
30, taper .04) were utilized in this study. The files were scanned by mXCT. The
surface area and volume of all files were determined from the cutting tip up to 16
mm. The data from the surface area, volume and specific area were statistica… Show more
