Controlling the size of GO in GO/nAg nanocomposite coatings on orthodontic nickel–titanium alloy toward excellent anti-corrosion, antibacterial, and tribological properties

Abstract

GO/nAg coatings constructed via pulse electrodeposition showed excellent surface properties.

Graphene-Based Coatings for Surface Modification and Their Applications in Fixed Orthodontics: A Scoping Review

“…Considering the selected studies, seven of them were comparative in vitro trials [8,9,[17][18][19][20][21]] and one was an in vivo trial, conducted in mouse teeth [22]. No randomized or nonrandomized clinical trials, case-control studies, or cohorts could be detected.…”

“…Five in vitro outcomes were mainly assessed: friction/lubricity between the archwire/bracket's slot (coefficient of friction), corrosion/wear resistance, other tribological aspects, antibacterial properties, and oral tissue/cell biocompatibility. The principal characteristics, numerical data, and main findings/conclusions from each included article are summarized in Table 1 [8,9,[17][18][19][20][21][22]. -The GSEC film-coated archwires showed low friction coefficients and high wear resistance when sliding against metallic brackets in surroundings with artificial saliva.…”

“…In order to enhance the surface qualities of fixed orthodontic appliances, some graphene coating processes and materials have been developed, according to Arango et al [12] and Arici et al [9]. For instance, NiTi wires have been painted using the electrostatic powder method [17,18,21]. On the other hand, orthodontic archwires have been coated using a different method of coating called physical vapor deposition [8].…”

“…China [22] In vivo study (mouse teeth) -GO gelatin was prepared by reducing GO with gelatin, according to a previously proposed method by the same authors, and stored in water with 1.0 mg/mL concentration at 4 Considering the selected studies, seven of them were comparative in vitr [8,9,[17][18][19][20][21] and one was an in vivo trial, conducted in mouse teeth [22]. No random non-randomized clinical trials, case-control studies, or cohorts could be detecte publication dates ranged from 2019 to 2023.…”
