Comparison of Load Deflection Properties and Frictional Resistance of Conventional Niti Archwires and Coated Niti Archwires Generated in Various Ceramic Bracket Slots - An in - Vitro Study
Abstract:Introduction:-Two main groups of materials used in fixed orthodontics are brackets and archwires. The present study was done to compare the frictional resistance and load-deflection properties of conventional NiTi archwire, Teflon coated NiTi archwire and Epoxy resin coated NiTi archwire when placed within the slot of ceramic brackets, metal-insert ceramic brackets and self-ligating ceramic brackets. Method: The frictional resistance (static friction and kinetic friction) and load-deflection properties (loadin… Show more
