The surface topography of nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) rotary files, after being exposed to a specific number of sterilization cycles in an autoclave, can cause surface changes in the file. Hence, the use of AFM and scanning electron microscopy would help to shed some light on the delicate balance betwee...
