Comparative Evaluation of Fracture Resistance of Teeth Instrumented by Self adjusting File, Protaper NEXT, and Hyflex EDM: An In vitro Study
The SAF system, with its adaptive design and minimal dentin removal, was superior in preserving root strength. ProTaper NEXT, although efficient in shaping, increased fracture risk due to higher stress generation. Hyflex EDM offered intermediate outcomes, combining flexibility and reduced dentin damage.
