Article Synopsis
- Orthodontists often need to address loose or mispositioned brackets, and one option is to recycle them, but this may cause physical changes affecting their performance.
- The study compared the dimensions and frictional resistance of reconditioned brackets to new ones, finding significant increases in slot width and depth for the reconditioned brackets.
- Despite these changes, the static frictional forces of reconditioned brackets were similar to new ones, suggesting that reconditioning does not significantly impact their performance in treatment.
