Cutting efficiency of conventional and heat‐treated nickel–titanium rotary or reciprocating glide path instruments

Aim To compare the cutting efficiency of several glide path files: HyFlex EDM Glidepath File (HEGF), One G (OG), R‐Pilot (RP) and WaveOne Gold Glider (WOGG) at different cutting inclinations. Methodology Cutting efficiency of 120 new HEGF, OG, RP and WOGG was tested at 90°, 70° and 45° inclination i...

Zusammenfassung:Aim To compare the cutting efficiency of several glide path files: HyFlex EDM Glidepath File (HEGF), One G (OG), R‐Pilot (RP) and WaveOne Gold Glider (WOGG) at different cutting inclinations. Methodology Cutting efficiency of 120 new HEGF, OG, RP and WOGG was tested at 90°, 70° and 45° inclination in relation to the sample. Depending on manufacturer instructions, instruments were tested in continuous rotation or reciprocating motion against standardized gypsum samples for 120 s using a customized apparatus. Cutting efficiency was determined by measuring the weight loss and the length of the sample cut. Data were analysed using two‐way analysis of variance and Tukey t‐test (P
