Efficiency and resistance of files during canal preparation are very important. The aim of this study was to compare surface defects in Aryatec, Mailifer Stainless-Steel(ss) and Mailifer Nickle-Titanium(Ni-Ti) K-files before and after canal preparation. Materials & Methods: This experimental study was done on the 3 groups consist of aryatec and mailifer ss K-files and Mailifer Ni-Ti K-file. In each group 30 files were selected. Each file pre and post instrumentation was observed for flextion, cracks, fracture, metal flashing, stretching, and partial clockwise using light streomicroscope at a magnification of 40x. The data were analysed using c2 and ANOVA. Result: In all group no crack and partial clockwise were observed. Flexion in aryatec was more than the others (P0.05). 4 aryatec files had primary stretching and 1 mailifer Ni-Ti file were fractured after 5 times that differences were not significant(P>0.05). Conclusion: There are no significant differences between surfaces defects in aryatec, mailifer ss and mailifer Ni-Ti before and after canal preparation.
