Fig. 2

Scanning electron microscopic images of the ProTaper Gold (PTG) and EdgeTaper Platinum (ETP) instruments after cyclic fatigue tested in different solutions. A PTG in EDTA, B PTG in NaOCl, C PTG in distilled water, D EPT in EDTA, E EPT in NaOCl, and F EPT in distilled water. "a" corresponds to the fatigue striation area, and "b" corresponds to the fast fracture zone with dimples
