Core Tip	There were different opinions on the effect of root fracture resistance using nickel-titanium rotary instrument. The present study carried out Meta-analysis on the references related to the influences on root fracture resistance of two different root canal preparation methods. The result can provide evidence for clinical therapy.The present study confirms that the effects of root canal preparation by Ni-Ti rotary instruments or manual stainless steel instruments on root fracture resistance are not statistically significant. These two preparation methods are both safe and effective if dentin is not excessively cut under normal chewing conditions.
