摘要:
A method for manufacturing a shape-set nonlinear non-superelastic file comprising the steps of: providing a superelastic file having a shaft and a file axis; providing a fixture including a file path being defined by one or more displacement members, the file path configured for receiving the shaft; inserting at least a portion of the shaft into the fixture along the file path, the portion of the shaft including a first portion of the shaft; contacting the first portion of the shaft with a first displacement member of the one or more displacement members such that the first portion of the shaft is displaced from the file axis thereby forming a first offset portion of the shaft; heating the portion of the shaft while inserted in the fixture to a temperature of at least about 350° C. to about 600° C. for a time period of about 3 minutes to about 30 minutes to shape-set the portion of the shaft while altering the austenite finish temperature thereby forming the shape-set nonlinear non-superelastic file; and wherein the altered austenite finish temperature of the shape-set nonlinear non-superelastic file is ranges from about 20° C. to about 40° C.
