Effect of autoclave sterilization on nickel ion release from stainless steel crowns and space maintainer bands

European Journal of Oral Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effect of autoclave sterilization on the leaching of nickel ions from stainless steel crowns and space maintainer bands used in pediatric dentistry. Sixty space maintainer bands and 60 stainless steel crowns were divided into sterilized (Amsco Century V‐120 Prevac steam sterilizer) and non‐sterilized groups.
