Fig. 1From: Micro-computed tomographic evaluation of the shaping ability of three nickel-titanium rotary systems in the middle mesial canal of mandibular first molars: an ex vivo study based on 3D printed tooth replicasDiagram of the progressive taper design (ProTaper Gold system) and constant taper design (Twisted File and OneShape system) of 3 NiTi instruments. The white arrow is OS 25/6% (D0 = 0.25 mm, D10 = 0.85 mm) and the black arrow is TF 30/4% (D0 = 0.30 mm, D10 = 0.70 mm); the 2 lines intersect at the level (D 2.5 = 0.40 mm) according to calculationBack to article page
