Effect of Chlorhexidine and Povidone-iodine Mouth Rinses on Corrosion Resistance and Surface Characteristics of Stainless Steel Orthodontic Brackets - An and Study.

Background: Stainless steel (SS) orthodontic brackets may have varying corrosion resistance when used with mouthwashes during orthodontic treatment. Studying their effects on orthodontic brackets will be beneficial.

Aim: The study's objective was to analyze the surface characteristics of SS orthodontic brackets and their resistance to corrosion, exposed to chlorhexidine and povidone-iodine mouth rinses - an and study.
