Conversely, ProTaper Ultimate demonstrated the highest buckling resistance but the lowest fatigue life, while Endostar offered balanced performance across all the parameters. These findings suggest that instrument selection should be tailored to specific canal anatomies and clinical requirements to optimize safety and minimize the risk of separation.<\/jats:p>\n
