Elemental Analysis of a Nickel-Titanium (Ni-Ti) Pediatric Rotary File Coated With Graphene Oxide: An Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis.

Background: Graphene oxide (GO) coatings have emerged as a promising method to enhance materials' surface properties and mechanical performance. In the context of endodontic files, the efficacy of these instruments is critically dependent on the properties of their outermost layer. Surface treatments and coatings can substantially improve these characteristics.

Surface Coating of Nickel-Titanium (Ni-Ti) Pediatric Rotary File Using Graphene Oxide: A Scanning Electron Microscopy Analysis.

Background: The effectiveness of endodontic files relies significantly on the characteristics of the outermost layer, which can be greatly improved through suitable surface treatments and appropriate coatings. Graphene-based materials (GBMs) have been utilized to fabricate nanocomposite coatings aimed at improving surface characteristics and mechanical behavior, including resilience, sustainability, oxidation resistance, solidity, and traction.

Aim: This research aims to study the surface topography of a nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) pediatric rotary file coated with graphene oxide (GO) using a scanning electron microscope (SEM).
