Third-order torque and self-ligating orthodontic bracket-type effects on sliding friction.
OBJECTIVE To examine the influence of third-order torque on kinetic friction in sliding mechanics involving active and passive self-ligating brackets. MATERIALS AND METHODS Wire-slot frictional forces were quantified and compared across five sets of brackets and tubes within a simulated posterior dental segment with -15 degrees , -10 degrees , -5 degrees , 0 degrees , +5 degrees , +10 degrees...
متن کاملOrthodontic Bracket Manufacturing Tolerances and Dimensional Differences between Select Self-Ligating Brackets
In all manufacturing processes there are tolerances; however, orthodontic bracket manufacturers seldom state the slot dimensional tolerances. This experiment develops a novel method of analyzing slot profile dimensions using photographs of the slot. Five points are selected along each wall, and lines are fitted to define a trapezoidal slot shape. This investigation measures slot height at the s...
متن کاملDentoalveolar mandibular changes with self-ligating versus conventional bracket systems: A CBCT and dental cast study
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to compare dentoalveolar changes in mandibular arch, regarding transversal measures and buccal bone thickness, in patients undergoing the initial phase of orthodontic treatment with self-ligating or conventional bracket systems. METHODS A sample of 25 patients requiring orthodontic treatment was assessed based on the bracket type. Group 1 comprised 1...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Friction of Self-Ligating and Conventional Bracket Systems
OBJECTIVES This in vitro study evaluated the friction (F) generated by aligned stainless steel (SS) conventional brackets, self-ligating Damon MX(©) brackets (SDS Ormco, Glendora, California, USA), Time3(©) brackets (American Orthodontics, Sheboygan, Wisconsin, USA), Vision LP(©) brackets (American Orthodontics), and low-friction Slide(©) ligatures (Leone, Firenze, Italy) coupled with various S...
متن کاملA study of the frictional characteristics of four commercially available self-ligating bracket systems.
The objective of this investigation was to assess and compare the in vitro tribological behaviour of four commercially available self-ligating bracket systems. The frictional characteristics of the Damon3, Speed, In-Ovation R, and Time2 bracket systems were studied using a jig that mimics the three-dimensional movements that occur during sliding mechanics. Each bracket system was tested on the ...
