Experimental traumatic debonding of orthodontic brackets.
This study was designed to gather information on enamel damage concomitant with traumatic debonding of orthodontic brackets. Seventy-eight extracted premolars passed an inspection for defects and were bonded with metal or ceramic brackets. The samples were debonded by one of six methods: (1) conventional clinical debonding, (2) shear force applied ...

In vitro wearing away of orthodontic brackets and wires in different conditions: A review
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, e.g., acidic, alkaline, substances with a high fluoride concentration, etc.

Unstable higher Toda brackets [PDF]
We define two new unstable n-fold Toda brackets for every composable sequence (f_n, ... ,f_1) of pointed maps f_i : X_i \to X_{i+1} between well-pointed spaces with n > 2. The brackets agree with the classical Toda bracket when n = 3, and they are subsets of both the unstable n-fold Toda brackets of Gershenson and Cohen for every n > 2.
