Introduction: This study investigated the surface, fractured structure, and physicochemical properties related to cyclic fatigue in various nickel-titanium (NiTi) files. Methods: Among a total of 10 groups of NiTi files, conventional NiTi - files (ProFile [Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland] and K3 [SybronEndo, Orange, CAD and new-generation NiTi files (ProFile Vortex [PV; Tulsa Dental Specialties, Tulsa, OK], Vortex Blue [VB; Tulsa Dental Specialties], and K3 XF [XF; SybronEndo, Orange, CA]) with the same tip diameter (ISO size 25) and 2 types of taper (0.04 and 0.06) were used in this study. Scanning electron microscopy of the file surface structure, differential scanning calorimetry, and cyclic fatigue resistance tests were conducted. Results: Many mechanical grooves were recognized on the file surface. The surface in the ProFile group was extremely smooth compared with that observed for the other files. Many shallow hollows besides mechanical grooves were noted on the surface in the XF group. A smooth curve was observed in the ProFile, K3, and PV groups. Defined peaks in differential scanning calorimetry were observed in the VB and XF groups. The 0.04 taper files exhibited a statistically higher number of cycles to fracture than the 0.06 taper files in all groups (P
