16
Q

Using k flex in curved canals can lead to?

A

Ledging

17
Q

Flexofiles are made from what shape blank?

A

Size 6 8 10 square blank (this means they aren’t too flexible and retain strength )
Size 15+ triangular blank (this means they are still flexible )

18
Q

What is the tolerance allowed for k files?

A

0.03-0.04 for larger files

19
Q

How does canal transportation occur?

A

When the tip is loose and remainder of file is bound

20
Q

What are the components of stainless steel files ?

A
Iron
Chromium ( at least 10.5%)
Carbon (less than 1.2%)
Nickel 8-10%
Other metal
21
Q

How do NiTi fail?

A

Cyclic fatigue

Torsional fatigue

22
Q

Between rotational and reciprocal files which have better cyclic fatigue resistance

A

Reciprocal

23
Q

How do ultrasonic and sonics work ?

A

Method of activating files by using electromagnetic energy

24
Q

What are the risks of using ultrasonics and sonic instruments ?

A

Risk of fracture

Must remain passive in the canal
