The orthodontic supply market is a prosperous billion-dollar industry, driven by an
increasing demand for orthodontic appliances. The supremacy of metallic first-generation …

Background Fluoridated mouth rinses improve anti-cariogenic environment but decrease
oral pH below critical value, affecting orthodontic bracket surface topography and causing …

Nitinol (NiTi) alloy is a widely used material for the production of orthodontic archwires. Its
corrosion behavior in conditions that exist in the oral cavity still remains a great …

Background and objectives: Most fixed orthodontic appliances are made of stainless steel
and Nickel-Titanium alloys, which can release metal ions into the oral cavity. The present …

Aim: Ions such as nickel and chromium which form the main component of most alloys used
in orthodontics are released from orthodontic wires and appliances and can cause allergic …

The purpose of this study was to find out the electrical-chemical behavior of Ni-Cr, Co-Cr
alloys and ceramics using the ZrO2-HfO2-Y2O3 system in vitro. The study was conducted …

Objectives: This studywas carried out to evaluate the effect of alcohol present in mouthwash
on the Ni and Ti ions release from ordinary andblue NiTiarchwire. Materials and Methods …

Objectives This study was to detect whether the magnetized water (MW), when used as a
mouth rinse, can influence the release of Nickel (Ni) ions from NiTi (nickel-titanium) …

This study aimed to assess the ions released from two brands of orthodontic bondable molar
tubes after immersion in different mouthwashes. Eighty orthodontic molar tubes; 40 from …

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the static frictional force of gold-plated orthodontic
brackets-wires combinations in comparison with the ordinary brackets and archwires in dry …
