Self-ligating brackets: present and future.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently, there has been a resurgence in the use of self-ligating (SL) brackets, which were introduced in the early 20th century. From a synthesis of both in-vitro and in-vivo evidence-based literature, we present general concepts, principles, and axioms. The references to "active" and "passive" SL brackets are explained and juxtaposed in relation to their perceived advantages and disadvantages. We also present new concepts in regard to the future of SL brackets: combination bracket system, hybrid system, and selective use of SL brackets.

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the frictional force (FR) in self-ligating brackets among different bracket-archwire angles, bracket materials, and archwire types. METHODS Passive and active metal self-ligating brackets and active ceramic self-ligating brackets were included as experimental groups, while conventional twin metal brackets served as a control group. All brackets were maxil...
