Objective: The aim of this in vitro study was to assess the stress distribution of novel endodontic rotary files of different cross sections and metallurgy against the root canal wall at three different levels by using finite element analysis.
Methods: A total of 60 novel NiTi rotary files were included in this study after being scanned for any sur-face deformities using a scanning electron microscope. The scanned files were assigned into 4 groups of 15 samples each based on their metallurgy and design: Group A-TruNatomy, Group B-XP-endo Shaper, Group C-F360, and Group D-2shape files. ANSYS® 15 Workbench finite element software (Canonsburg, Pennsyl-vania, United States) was used to numerically analyse the stress created by computer-aided models of these instruments on the dentinal wall of a simulated root canal to test the mechanical behaviour of these files. All data were analysed using one-way ANOVA with post hoc Tukey analysis, the Shapiro Wilk test, and Levene's test. The significance level was set at 5%.
Results: XP-endo Shaper files employed minimal stress on the surface of dentine during instrumentation, and F360 files exerted maximum stress on the dentinal wall. However, no statistically significant difference was found among the groups in relation to the amount of stress produced at the distinct levels of the root canal wall (p>0.05).
Conclusion: There was no discernible difference in stress generation among the four groups in the current investigation. Therefore, it can be inferred that the upgrade in design and metallurgy of rotary files has the potential to downgrade the stress during the shaping of the canal and the menace of instrument breakage during their clinical usage.
