Objective Evaluate the effect of 5.25% NaOCl on the surface characteristics and fatigue resistance of ProFile. Study design Eighty new ProFile instruments were divided into 1 control group (CG) and 3 experimental groups (EG1, EG2, EG3). Instruments of EG1 were immersed in 5.25% NaOCl for 24 hours. Instruments of EG2 and EG3 shaped 10 curved root canals, using, respectively, deionized water and 5.25% NaOCl as irrigants. Surface characteristics were observed by scanning electron microscopy. All instruments were then submitted to fatigue tests. Two-way ANOVA tests were employed to compare the results. Results Surface characteristics showed no alteration after the immersion tests. The fatigue resistance of instruments in EG2 and EG3 was significantly lower than in CG and EG1. Conclusions Immersion of ProFile in 5.25% NaOCl for 24 hours had no influence on surface characteristics and fatigue resistance. Simulated clinical use was a decisive factor in the decrease of fatigue life. Evaluate the effect of 5.25% NaOCl on the surface characteristics and fatigue resistance of ProFile.
