Abstract
Three currently available endodontic instrument handles, introduced ov er the past four decades, were investigated for tactility. Larger hand les have been promoted to overcome sensitivity loss from wearing glove s. Smaller handles were preferred in this experiment. While the larges t diameter handle appeared to give enhanced tactility, significance wa s not reached in any of the tests.
