"In vitro" study about variables that influence in arch friction with conventional and self-ligating brackets
(MDPI, 2019-10-09)
Many advantages have been described surrounding self-ligating (SL) brackets compared to metallic conventional ligating (CL) brackets, such as: Less total treatment time, alignment efficiency, patient ...
Enamel evaluation after debonding of fixed retention and polishing treatment with three different methods
(MDPI, 2023)
Lack of standardization of the retention phase has led to many studies of stability of movements and characteristic of retainers, disregarding the enamel repercussions of fixed retention on this phase. ...
In vitro corrosion behavior of lingual orthodontic archwires
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2011)
To investigate the in vitro electrochemical corrosive behavior of archwires used in lingual orthodontics and the effects on the phase transition temperatures. Materials and Methods. Six different types ...
NiTi superelastic orthodontic archwires with polyamide coating
(Springer, 2013-10-24)
Twenty orthodontic archwires with 55.2 % Ni and 44.8 % Ti (% weight) were subjected to a dipping treatment to coat the NiTi surface by a polyamide polymer. It has been selected a Polyamide 11 due to its ...
In vitro study of shear bond strength in direct and indirect bonding with three types of adhesive systems
(MDPI, 2020)
This study aimed to compare the shear bond strength (SBS) and adhesive remaining index (ARI) using one conventional and two novel adhesive systems with clinical step reduction and direct and indirect ...
Comparison of the superelasticity of different nickel–titanium orthodontic archwires and the loss of their properties by heat treatment
(Springer Nature, 2016)
The aim of this work is to describe and compare mechanical properties of eight widely used nickel–titanium orthodontic wires under uniform testing conditions and to determine the influence of the heat ...
Bacteriostatic poly rthylene glycol plasma coatings for orthodontic titanium mini-implants
(MDPI, 2022)
Titanium mini-implants are used as anchorage for orthodontic tooth movements. However, these implants present problems due to the infection of surrounding tissues. The aim of this work was to obtain a ...
Effect of temperature on the orthodontic clinical applications of NiTi closed-coil springs
(Medicina Oral S.L., 2013-07-01)
NiTi spring coils were used to obtain large deformation under a constant force. The device consists on a NiTi coil spring, superelastic at body temperature, in order to have a stress plateau during the ...
Do titanium mini-implants have the same quality of finishing and degree of contamination before and after different manipulations? An in vitro study
(MDPI, 2021)
Evaluate the quality of finishing and degree of contamination before and after handling and surface treatment of titanium (Ti) orthodontic mini-implants (OMIs). A scanning electron microscope (SEM) study ...
New bactericide orthodonthic archwire: NiTi with silver nanoparticles
(MDPI, 2020)
A potential new bactericide treatment for NiTi orthodontic archwires based in the electrodeposition of silver nanoparticles on the surface was studied. Twenty-five archwires were treated by electrodeposition, ...
