The impact of blade geometry (nonflat, flat or hybrid) and metallurgical composition on the mechanical performance of <scp>NiTi</scp> endodontic instruments: A multimethod laboratory study
Overall, instruments featuring either flat-side (Platinum V.EU) or hybrid (Flash) active blades demonstrated inferior mechanical performance compared to the conventional nonflat instrument (CC One Blue).
