Abstract

The use of nickel-titanium rotary files has been accepted worldwide. One of the major concerns about its use is the chance of file separation. Two types of failure have already been identified: cyclic fatigue and torsional failure. A scanning electron microscope analysis was performed on a recent case of file separation. The scan was used to show the main characteristics of torsional failure and to compare these characteristics with a known example of cyclic fatigue type failure. The clinical reasons that may lead to such failure are also discussed.

Key-words:
Nickel-titanium rotary file
Torsional failure
File separation
Scanning electron microscopy
Resumo

A instrumentação mecanizada com limas de níquel-titânio é usada mundialmente, sendo a separação e fractura destes instrumentos considerada uma grande preocupação. São documentados dois tipos de fracturas: por fadiga cíclica ou por fractura por torção. Uma análise de microscópio electrónico de varredura foi realizada num recente caso de fractura de uma lima. A análise é usada para documentar as características da fractura por torção e compará-la com a fadiga cíclica. As razoes clínicas que podem levar a este tipo de falha são também debatidas.
