Abstract: Curved root canals are common in the clinic, and the complexity and variety of the curvatures make it difficult to maintain the original shape of the root canal and perform ideal canal preparation. Recently, with the continuous development of new thermomechanical-treated nickel-titanium instrument, the performance of the instruments has been improved to better prepare the curved canals. In this paper, the effect of new thermomechanical-treated nickel-titanium instruments on the shaping ability of curved canals is reviewed.

Key words: New thermomechanical-treated nickel-titanium instrument, Curved canals, Root canal preparation, Shaping ability
