NiTi bonded space regainer/maintainer

Banded vs Bonded Space Maintainers: Finding Better Way Out

OBJECTIVES Of this in vivo study was to evaluate various space maintainers in terms of survival rate, gingival health and presence of caries. DESIGN A total of 60 extraction sites in the age group of 4 to 9 years were divided into four groups and different space maintainers were placed in them viz (conventional band and loop, prefabricated band with custom made loop, Ribbond, Super splint). ...

Clinical evaluation of a new bonded space maintainer.

• Extraction of deciduous teeth no more than two weeks previously. • Absence of periodontal disease or any other pathology. • Absence of abnormal dental conditions such as crossbite, open bite, or deep bite. • Absence of carious lesions on the buccal surfaces of the abutment teeth. • Good oral hygiene. • Ability to attend follow-up appointments as required. Twenty-seven children (16 male and 11...

Hysteresis in NiTi alloys

Large changes in hysteresis are reported as a function of applied stress under thermal cycling experiments in NiTi single crystals. In the low Ni alloy the thermal hysteresis expanded with increasing stress while in the high Ni alloy the thermal hysteresis contracted with increasing stress. The results in both cases meet the limit obtained from Differential Scanning Calorimetry at zero stress. ...
