Abstract
Knowledge and thorough understanding of the characteristics of endodontic nickel–titanium (NiTi) files is paramount for dentists performing root canal treatments to patients. Understanding the behavior of the NiTi files guides the clinicians in choosing the correct instruments for different clinical and anatomical situations. This review focuses on the metallurgical properties of endodontic NiTi files, with a special emphasis on recent developments and improvements in metallurgy and the effects of heat treatment and surface treatment. In this study, the impact that such developments have on the properties of endodontic NiTi files is discussed.
