Background/purpose: Geometric design dictates the mechanical performance of nickel-titanium rotary instruments. Using finite element (FE) analysis, this study evaluated the effects of an off-centered cross-sectional design on the stiffness and stress distribution of nickel-titanium rotary instrument...
