Kanwarpreet Singh, Anurag Aggarwal, Shalu Krishan Gupta

Root canal procedures are very common these days and so is the increasing demand of better root canal instruments. NiTi are one of the most common and better alloys used for manufacturing of these instruments. These instruments have better thermodynamic properties producing a shape memory effect under suitable conditions. Therefore, this review elaborates the metallurgic prospects of NiTi instruments.

Key words: Nickel, Root canal, Titanium
