Mechanical and Metallurgical In Vitro Evaluation of Electropolished Versus Non‐Electropolished Rotary and Reciprocating Instruments
Electropolishing improved the flexibility of both One RECI and One Curve mini NiTi instruments without compromising their surface microhardness or cutting efficiency. However, its impact on torsional resistance was system-dependent, resulting in reduced strength only in the reciprocating One RECI instruments.
