Disease relevance of Orthodontic Wires

• The extract inhibited the adherence of Streptococcus mutans MT8148 to saliva-coated hydroxyapatite and reduced the accumulation of artificial dental plaque by S. mutans MT8148 on orthodontic wire [1].

High impact information on Orthodontic Wires

• A micro-X-ray diffraction (micro-XRD) technique has been employed to determine the phases in two superelastic nickel-titanium orthodontic wires that exhibit shape memory in the oral environment and one superelastic nickel-titanium wire that does not exhibit shape memory in vivo [2].
• Delayed fracture of beta titanium orthodontic wire in fluoride aqueous solutions [3].
• Thus the new FRP wire can satisfy both mechanical properties necessary for an orthodontic wire and enough estheticity, which was not possible for the conventional metal wire [4].
• The studied orthodontic wires were straight-lengthened or Arch Blank preformed types and three sizes of square wires and five sizes of round ones were tested [5].

Associations of Orthodontic Wires with chemical compounds

• Micro-X-ray diffraction observation of nickel-titanium orthodontic wires in simulated oral environment [2].
• The hydrogen-related degradation of orthodontic wires after immersion in 2.0% acidulated phosphate fluoride solution at 37 degrees C for 60 minutes was evaluated by a tensile test, scanning electron microscope observation, and hydrogen thermal desorption analysis [7].
• This is fabricated with cold-cure poly methyl methacrylate and orthodontic wire [8].
• The thick oxide layer, however, was not stable and did not protect the orthodontic wire from corrosion in 0.1% lactic acid solution [9].
• The chloride corrosion behaviour of four orthodontic wires [10].

Gene context of Orthodontic Wires

• The purpose of this study was to use the more recently developed technique of temperature-modulated DSC (TMDSC) to gain insight into transformations in 3 nickel-titanium orthodontic wires: Neo Sentalloy (GAC International, Islandia, NY), 35 degrees C Copper Ni-Ti (Ormco, Glendora, Calif) and Nitinol SE (3M Unitek, Monrovia, Calif) [11].
• Stainless steel orthodontic wires with cross-sections of .017 x .025 in (W17) and .018 x .025 in (W18), and brackets with slot sizes of .018 in (B18) and .022 in (B22) were used [12].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Orthodontic Wires

• Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a well-known method for investigating phase transformations in nickel-titanium orthodontic wires; the microstructural phases and phase transformations in these wires have central importance for their clinical performance [11].
• Using the non-destructive techniques of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and of laser specular reflectance, the surface roughness of 11 nickel-titanium orthodontic wires, a stainless steel and a beta-titanium wire was measured [13].
