Assessing the MR compatibility of dental retainer wires at 7 Tesla.

چکیده
PURPOSE To determine the MR compatibility of common dental retainer wires at 7 Tesla in terms of potential RF heating and magnetic susceptibility effects. METHODS Electromagnetic simulations and experimental results were compared for dental retainer wires placed in tissue-mimicking phantoms. Simulations were then performed for a human model with wire in place. Finally, image quality was assessed for different scanning protocols and wires. RESULTS Simulations and experimental data in phantoms agreed well, with the length of the wire correlating to maximum heating in phantoms being approximately 47 mm. Even in this case, no substantial heating occurs when scanning within the specific absorption rate (SAR) guidelines for the head. Image distortions from the most ferromagnetic dental wire were not significant for any brain region. CONCLUSION Dental retainer wires appear to be MR compatible at 7 Tesla.

A method for stabilizing a lingual fixed retainer in place prior to bonding.
AIM The objective of this article is to present a simple technique for stabilizing a lingual fixed retainer wire in place with good adaptation to the teeth surfaces and checking for occlusal interferences prior to the bonding procedure. BACKGROUND Bonding of an upper or lower fixed lingual retainer using stainless steel wires of different sizes and shapes is a common orthodontic procedure. Th...

INTRODUCTION We aimed to compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of three different retainer wires and three different bonding adhesives in consideration of the pretreatment process of enamel surface sandblasting. METHODS 400 extracted bovine incisors were divided into 10 groups of 20 paired specimens each. 10 specimens of each group were pretreated by enamel sandblasting. The retainer wires Bo...
متن کاملComparison of three different orthodontic wires for bonded lingual retainer fabrication
OBJECTIVE We evaluated the detachment force, amount of deformation, fracture mode, and pull-out force of 3 different wires used for bonded lingual retainer fabrication. METHODS We tested 0.0215-inch five-stranded wire (PentaOne, Masel; group I), 0.016 × 0.022-inch dead-soft eight-braided wire (Bond-A-Braid, Reliance; group II), and 0.0195-inch dead-soft coaxial wire (Respond, Ormco; group III...
متن کاملPermanent retainer activation with the self-activated loop system.
labial bows require periodic tightening to maintain their activation. Without these adjustments, the activation loops at each end of the labial bow gradually open, reducing the force delivered by the appliance and often causing a relapse of anterior crowding. Since such relapse occurs gradually, the patient may be unaware of it until it has advanced to the degree that retreatment with fixed app...
