An overview of nickel-titanium alloys used in dentistry.

چکیده
The nickel-titanium alloy Nitinol has been used in the manufacture of endodontic instruments in recent years. Nitinol alloys have greater strength and a lower modulus of elasticity compared with stainless steel alloys. The super-elastic behaviour of Nitinol wires means that on unloading they return to their original shape following deformation. These properties are of interest in endodontology as they allow construction of root canal instruments that utilize these favourable characteristics to provide an advantage when preparing curved canals. This review aims to provide an overview of Nitinol alloys used in dentistry in order for its unique characteristics to be appreciated.

A review of the requirements and hazards of toxic metals from orthodontic wires
Background: Orthodontics is a part of dentistry that includes preventive methods and correction of dental irregularities that need to be repositioned by functional and mechanical tools to provide an ideal occlusion and a beautiful face for patients. There are currently four metal arch wires used in orthodontic treatment: stainless steel alloy, cobalt-chromium alloy, nickel-titanium alloy, and b...

Introduction: The present study aimed to evaluate an experimental herbal mouthwash, as compared to sodium fluoride mouthwash on the frictional resistance and surface roughness between brackets and two rectangular archwire types. Methods: A total of 60 premolar׳s brackets engaged with 0.019×0.025 archwires made of stainless steel and nickel-titanium alloys were used in this study. The samples we...
متن کاملEffect of magnesia investments in the dental casting of pure titanium or titanium alloys.
For past several years, precious alloys have been gradually replaced by non-precious ones in the dental casting field because of the rising price of dental alloys. In Japan during the past ten years, nickel-chromium alloys have been used extensively for crown or bridge and porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations instead of gold or silver alloys. This tendency seems to be the same all over the wor...

Metallic materials are the basis of dental materials science, which is an important part of dentistry. As a result of their good mechanical properties and some biological properties, metals are widely used in oral rehabilitation of dentition and mandibular defects, orthodontic and dental implants, as well as in the equipment for dental operations. Commonly used metals include nickel chromium, c...
متن کاملAssessment of the rate of orthodontic appliances ion release in different mouthwashes: An overview
Background and Aims: All metal components of orthodontic appliances are somewhat corroded in the oral environment due to some changes in chemical, mechanical, thermal, microbiological and enzymatic factors which facilitates ion release. Ionic release can result in a discoloration of the surrounding soft tissue or allergic reactions in sensitive patients or even local pain in the area. In genera...
