Rates of tooth movement and bone remodeling activity : self-ligating versus conventional brackets
2019
Background Bracket systems have been developed with the purpose of reducing frictional resistance between the archwire and accessories. The aim of this research was to compare rates of tooth movement and regions of cellular bone modeling activity along tooth root surfaces of teeth moved with conventional vs. self-ligating brackets. Material and Methods The experiments were conducted in 20 male dogs. Bands were cemented in all intermediate incisors, with conventional brackets (Morelli) on the right side and hybrid self-ligating ones (T3-American Orthodontics) on the left side. A 0.019” x 0.025” stainless steel wire was inserted passively in the slot of these brackets with chain elastics (250…
Comparison of torque expression in esthetic brackets
2019
Background The objective of this work is to test the null hypothesis that there is no difference in the torque expression among different esthetic brackets. Material and methods Five ceramic self-ligating brackets (In-Ovation C - GAC, Damon Clear-Ormco, QuicKlear-Forestadent, Click-It -TP Orthodontics, Clarity SL-3M Unitek) and 4 ceramic conventional brackets (Inspire Ice-Ormco, InVu Ceramic-TP Orthodontics, Ceramic Roth-Morelli, Clarity Metal-Reinforced Ceramic Bracket-3M Unitek) were selected. Metallic Damon MX self-ligating bracket (Ormco) was used as control. Third-order moments were measured at 12o, 24o and 36o using an archwire torsion device associated with a Universal Testing Machin…
