Three currently available endodontic instrument handles, introduced over the past four decades, were investigated for tactility. Larger handles have been promoted to overcome sensitivity loss from wearing gloves. Smaller handles were preferred in this experiment. While the largest diameter handle appeared to give enhanced tactility, significance was not reached in any of the tests.
