AB -  The last two decades have seen an explosion in the development of new nickel–titanium (NiTi) endodontic instrument materials and systems for root canal instrumentation, and tremendous achievements and progress have been made in this sector of the endodontic discipline. NiTi rotary files are available in a variety of designs, each with features that affect the manner in which they engage and cut dentin and the stress that may be generated within them. Increasing numbers of NiTi rotary instruments of various designs are now being marketed; new instruments and materials seem to appear faster than clinicians can learn about the preceding versions. This has created an educational challenge for practitioners, universities, and manufacturers, requiring a greater degree of cooperation amongst these groups than ever before. Clinicians should use only those instruments and materials shown to be safe and effective in independent studies. Our knowledge and understanding of instruments as well as the recommendations for clinical protocols are based on both clinical experience and the results of past and ongoing research. This volume of Endodontic Topics focuses on NiTi instruments. In addition, a review of ultrasonic endodontic instruments has been included. The topics selected reflect the need for a better
