Effect of Sodium Fluoride Mouthwash on the Frictional Resistance of Orthodontic Wires [PDF]
Objectives: The friction between the brackets and orthodontic wire during sliding mechanics inflicts difficulties such as decreasing the applied force and tooth movement and also the loss of anchorage.

Abstract Objectives Root canal preparation can lead to cracks on the roots by creating stresses on the root canal walls, which decreases the fracture resistance of the tooth. The present study compared the fracture resistance of the teeth prepared by the ProTaper Universal (PTU), ProTaper Next (PTN), and ProTaper Gold (PTG) rotary file systems ...

NiTi WIRES FOR ORTHODONTIC APPLICATION [PDF]
In order to characterize NiTi orthodontic wires microstructure, transformation temperatures, and deformation behaviour have been investigated. Various states of dislocation density were established by additional heat treatment of a work hardened material.

The Eulerian buckling test for orthodontic wires [PDF]
Orthodontic treatment is mainly dependent on the loads developed by metal wires. The load developed by a buckled orthodontic wire is of great concern for molar distalization and cannot be simply derived from mechanical properties measured through classical tests (i.e. tensile, torsion, and bending).
