Superficial morphology and mechanical properties of in vivo aged orthodontic ligatures.
INTRODUCTION The degradation of elastic ligatures in the oral environment results in the need of periodic replacement to maintain the optimal force during the orthodontic treatment. The purpose of this study was to perform a clinical prospective randomized study of the degradation of orthodontic elastomeric ligatures in the oral environment by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and tensile stre...
متن کاملPlaque retention on elastomeric ligatures. An in vivo study.
UNLABELLED Fixed orthodontic appliances make it difficult to maintain the oral hygiene, resulting in plaque accumulation. Retention of bacterial plaque, represents a risk for white spot lesions and development of periodontal disease. AIM Purpose of this study was to determine in vivo the retention of plaque on three different elastic ligatures, in comparison with stainless steel ligature, to ...
متن کاملColor Preferences of Patients Receiving Elastic Ligatures
OBJECTIVES To determine the color preferences for elastic ligatures among patients receiving fixed-appliance orthodontic therapy. METHODS Five hundred patients with metal brackets (336 female patients and 164 male patients) were included, and their color preferences for elastic ligatures were recorded using a color scale. Chi-square analysis was performed to evaluate the color preferences and...
متن کاملInfluence of exogenous pigmentation on the optical properties of orthodontic elastic ligatures
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the optical properties of orthodontic elastic ligatures under the influence of exogenous pigments contained in the daily diet. MATERIAL AND METHODS For the analysis, colorless (clear) elastic segments (ORTHO Organizers, lot 660625A10) were used as received from the manufacturer, and were divided into 8 groups of 3 segments each. Each group was im...
