Abstract

I. Objectives This study was done to evaluate the shaping ability of ProFile and ProTaper, K-Flexofile during instrumentation in simulated resin canals with different angles of curvature. II. Materials and Methods Ninety simulated root canals with a curvature of 15, 30 and 45 degree (following Schneider's method) were made of epoxy resin ($EPOXICURE^{TM}$, BUEHLER, USA) for this study. The canal length of simulated root canals was adjusted to 18 mm. The beginning point of curvature was positioned at 10mm from the canal orifice.(omitted)
