Introduction The release of metallic ions from orthodontic brackets and wires typically
depends on their quality (chemical composition) and the medium to which they are exposed …

Abstract CpTi and Ti6Al4V alloy are the most widely used materials for implant application,
but the release of toxic elements (eg Al and V) and the so-called stress-shielding effect are …

Introduction A number of studies have been published regarding the behaviour of titanium
inside the oral cavity or in a similar environment. Very often the results converge although …

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

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different types of
toothpaste on the frictional resistance between stainless steel brackets and archwires …

This study evaluated bond strengths of three commercial veneering porcelains to
experimental cast titanium-chromium (Ti-Cr) alloy and commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti) via …

Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess the galvanic behavior of different bracket
and archwire combinations that are commonly used in orthodontic treatments. Methods …

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effect of 0.05% sodium fluoride (NaF) mouthwash
on the surface roughness and friction between ceramic brackets and rhodium-coated (RC) …

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effect of different forms of fluoride application on
surface roughness of rhodium-coated nickel-titanium (NiTi) orthodontic wires. Materials and …

Fluoride has recently been indicated as a risk factor for peri-implantitis. However, no reports
have confirmed this intraorally in humans or in experiments using large animals. Thus, in the …
