Abstract:

 Background :  A more flexible file was needed for instrumentation of curved canals using step back enlargement technique Ni-Ti files has been shown to be exceptionally elastic , having a lower bending moment and lower permanent set after torsion with similar gauge stainless steel files .    Aim of the study:  is to compare the time needed to prepare curved resin simulated root canals with Ni-Ti, S.S., and SS K-Flex files using a step –back enlargement technique.    Materials and methods:  30 simulated root canals were constructed using size 20 silver points as a mold, then divided into 3 groups: group 1: Canals instrumented with SS K – files, group 2: Canals instrumented with stainless steel K- flex files. And group 3: Canals instrumented with Ni – Ti files.    Results:  The comparison between the three groups using ANOVA and T- test, showed a significant difference in time needed to fully instrument the canals.    CONCLUSION:  Ni- Ti files required more time to instrument the canals than other files.
