In vitro study of force decay of latex and non-latex orthodontic elastics.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the force decay of two brands of orthodontic elastics, both offering latex and non-latex products. Samples were subjected to continuous stretching, measuring force at 5 seconds, 8 hours, and 24 hours in both dry and wet conditions. Five hundred samples were used, GAC® and Lancer® 0.25 inch and 4 oz, divided into testing sample sizes of n = 25 per group. For...
متن کاملForce Relaxation Characteristics of Medium Force Orthodontic Latex Elastics: A Pilot Study
To evaluate force extension relaxation of different brands and diameters of latex elastics subjected to static tensile testing under an apparatus designed to simulate oral environments, sample sizes of 5 elastics from American Orthodontics (AO), Tp, and Morelli Orthodontics (Mo) of equivalent medium force, (3/16, 1/4, and 5/16 inch size) were tested. The forces were read after 1-, 3-, 6-, 12- a...
متن کاملAn In-vitro Comparison of Force Loss of Orthodontic Non-Latex Elastics
OBJECTIVE The amount and consistency of the applied forces to the tooth are important factors in tooth movements; therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the initial force and the force loss of three brands of elastics in 24 hours. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this in-vitro study sixty non-latex elastics (3/16 medium) from three companies (Forestadent, Dentaurum and Ortho Technology) were...
متن کاملElasticity in Elastics-An in-vitro study.
BACKGROUND Orthodontic tooth movement results from application of forces to teeth. Elastics in orthodontics have been used both intra-orally and extra- orally to a great effect. Their use, combined with good patient co-operation provides the clinician with the ability to correct both anteroposterior and vertical discrepancies. Force decay over a period of time is a major problem in the clinical...
متن کاملEvaluation of the cytotoxicity of latex and non-latex orthodontic separating elastics.
OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that a difference in cytotoxicity exists between latex and non-latex orthodontic separating elastics. MATERIAL AND METHODS Five intra-oral separating elastics from different manufactures (four latex and one non-latex) were divided into five groups of 15 elastics each: Group MA (non-latex elastics, Masel), Group MO (natural latex, Morelli), Group DE (natural la...
