What may occur due to a wobbling or bent bit?

Increased speed of the electric file
Improved performance
May cause a cumulative trauma disorder (CTD)
Better results in filing

The correct answer is: May cause a cumulative trauma disorder (CTD)

A wobbling or bent bit can lead to improper alignment and instability during use, which creates unnecessary strain on the hand and wrist. This inconsistent motion increases the risk of repetitive stress injuries over time, potentially resulting in a cumulative trauma disorder (CTD). CTDs are often associated with repetitive motion and prolonged use of tools in awkward positions, as can happen when a nail technician uses an unstable or misaligned electric file bit. The other outcomes listed, such as increased speed, improved performance, or better filing results, are unlikely outcomes when using a defective bit. Instead, the instability typically leads to a decrease in effectiveness and efficiency, further highlighting the importance of using well-maintained tools to avoid health issues and ensure quality work.
