Fios ortodônticos: conhecer para otimizar a aplicação clínica

Abstract: A grande variedade de fios ortodônticos presente no mercado pode gerar dúvidas quanto à melhor escolha para situações clínicas. Assim, o conhecimento das propriedades mecânicas dos mesmos facilita a escolha para aplicação do movimento ortodôntico na dependência da fase em que o tratamento se encontra. A evolução da tecnologia de manufatura dos fios e a elaboração de novas técnicas ortodônticas geraram a busca por uma melhor qualidade das ligas, a fim de torná-los biologicamente mais efetivos no que diz respeit… Show more

“…[1][2][3] The increasing demand for esthetics has promoted the development of coated wires with polymeric materials and extruded wires made of polymer matrix fiberglass-reinforced plastic. 12 The surface and thickness of metallic-coated wires can be modified, which can affect corrosive properties, mechanic durability, and especially, friction forces. 11 Alternatively, allpolymer wires adequately match tooth color and present stiffness properties similar to those of metallic archwires, but wire fracture is their biggest drawback.…”

“…In order to achieve more efficient movement and to prevent damage to the supporting tissue, it is necessary that the orthodontist has knowledge about the structural and mechanical properties of the wires used in clinical practice, since tooth movement is a result of the accumulation of elastic energy and the transformation of this energy into mechanical work. Currently in orthodontics, four basic types of alloys are used: stainless steel; nickel-titanium (NiTi) and its variations (superelastic, thermodynamic and with the addition of copper); beta-titanium alloys, and aesthetic composites 1 …”

“…Orthodontic therapy is based on the principle of transforming accumulated elastic energy into mechanical work to obtain dental movement, in which the changes that dentists impose on the appliance provide the control over the mechanism of load transference and distribution 1 .…”
