Abstract

Objectives:To determine the cross-sectional design of handheld stainless steel K files (Mani, Inc. Japan), acquired from Pakistan and the United Kingdom, in accordance with the manufacturers’ design. This study was conducted at the Institute of Space Technology, Islamabad, over a period of one month.
Materials & Methods: A total of 40 stainless-steel K files (Mani, Inc. Japan) of identical size (ISO#25), were collected and divided into two groups. Group A consisted of 20 K files purchased from the Rawalpindi/Islamabad city in Pakistan, while Group B consisted of 20 K files that were purchased from London, United Kingdom. The cross-sectional design of the two groups of iles was evaluated using a scanning electron microscope.
Results: Both the groups of files had a square cross-sectional shape.
Conclusion:Cross-sectional shape of the files identified well with the design intended by manufacturers.
