Frictional Properties of Self-Ligating Brackets and Low-Friction Ligatures
Problem statement: To evaluate the frictional forces generated by five different orthodontic brackets when used in combination with stainless steel and NiTi archwires in dry conditions at physiological temperature. Approach: Five different types of maxillary canine brackets (Damon 3 MX, Step, Quick, Sprint, Mini Mono) with a slot size 0.022 inch were coupled with 0.016” and 0.019”×0.025” stainl...
متن کاملFrictional resistance of orthodontic wires tied with 3 types of elastomeric ligatures.
The aims of this study were to determine and compare frictional resistance obtained by low-friction and conventional elastomeric ligatures in the presence of artificial saliva, and observe whether this variable changed after 21 days. Super Slick® low-friction elastomeric ligatures and conventional ligatures of the brands TP conventional® and Unitek® were placed on standard edgewise maxillary ce...
متن کاملFrictional resistance in monocrystalline ceramic brackets with conventional and nonconventional elastomeric ligatures
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to compare the frictional forces generated by three types of monocrystalline ceramic brackets coupled with conventional elastomeric ligatures (CEL) and nonconventional elastomeric ligatures (NCEL) during the alignment of apically displaced teeth at the maxillary arch. METHODS All tests (a total of 480 tests) were carried out in a dry state on a unive...
متن کاملA comparative in vitro study of the frictional characteristics of two types of self-ligating brackets and two types of pre-adjusted edgewise brackets tied with elastomeric ligatures.
The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the frictional characteristics of two types of self-ligating brackets ('A' Company Damon SL and Adenta Time brackets) and two types of pre-adjusted edgewise brackets (TP Tip-Edge and 'A' Company Standard Twin brackets). The test brackets were glued to steel bars and aligned using a preformed jig. Five combinations of archwire size and material w...
متن کاملDiscoloration and force degradation of orthodontic elastomeric ligatures
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to evaluate color changes and force degradation of orthodontic elastomeric ligatures in different stretching patterns during a 8-weeks period. METHODS: Two elastomers with the minimum and two with the maximum color changing, and gray elastomers of two brands (American Orthodontics and Ortho Technology) were selected according to an opinion poll wit...
