What is The Use of Computed Tomography When Comparing Nickel–titanium and Stainless Steel Files During Preparation of Simulated Curved Canals about?
## Abstract ## Aim The aim of this study was to compare canal preparations completed with Hedstrom and K‐files of ISO size 15–40, made of nickel–titanium (Ni–Ti) and stainless steel (SS). ## Methodology Eighty simulated canals with 20° and 30° curvatures were prepared using the step‐back technique and quarter turn/pull instrument manipulation. Middle and apical level canal sections were taken using computed tomography. ## Results No significant difference was found between any of the file types at either level with respect to canal curvature (20° or 30°). At the middle level, the stainless steel files caused more enlargement toward the inner part, compared to nickel–titanium files. At the apical level, nickel–titanium canal files caused more enlargement toward the inner part, whereas more outward enlargement was caused by stainless steel instruments. No significant difference could be observed at the middle level (__P__ > 0.05) related to the enlargement toward the outer side of the canal curvature. Transportation at both levels was significantly less (__P__ 0.05), whereas at the apical level the centring ratios were significantly higher for the Ni–Ti files (__P__ < 0.001). ## Co
