The biological effects of Nitinol in Orthodontics A literature review
نویسنده
چکیده
Aim: This literature review was aimed to find out which kind of interactions result from the use of Nitinol in the oral system. In particular the main interest was directed to the alterations of the oral tissues as well as to the effects on distant districts. Conclusions: Nitinol is a mostly tolerated material, widely used in orthodontic for its useful properties. Nevertheless negative reactions to this material have been reported. It seems that these reactions occur mainly when Nitinol is coupled with other metals as stainless steel, but further research about this topic is needed.
