Abstract

The aim of this review was to determine the advantages and disadvantages of rotative nickel-titanium endodontic instruments compared with stainless steel manual instruments on the basis of in vitro studies. Indeed, many articles about this topic have been published these last few years and it has now been demonstrated that these new instruments show many advantages compared with classical manual instruments. However, they cannot solve every clinical situation and the use of manual stainless steel instruments still remains essential.
