Article Abstract
Objective: To compare the frictional resistance between self-ligating and conventional brackets tied to different types of wire.
Material And Methods: Abzil Kirium Capelozza (Pattern I) and Easy Clip (Roth prescription) incisor brackets were used. An elastomeric ligature or a 0.10-in ligating wire was used to ligate the wire to the Abzil bracket. Three types of orthodontic archwire alloys were assessed: 0.016-in NiTi wire, 0.016 x 0.021-in NiTi wire and 0.019 x 0.025-in steel wire. Ten observations were carried out for each bracket-archwire angulation combination. Brackets were mounted in a special appliance, positioned at 90 degrees in relation to the wire and tested in two angulations. Frictional test was performed in a Universal Testing Machine at 5 mm/min and 10 mm of displacement. The means (MPa) were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey's test set at 5% of significance. The surfaces of wires and brackets were observed at SEM.
Results: Steel-tied brackets (16.48 ± 8.31) showed higher means of frictional resistance than elastomeric-tied brackets (4.29 ± 2.16 ) and self-ligating brackets (1.66 ± 1.57) (P < 0.05), which also differed from each other (P < 0.05). As for the type of wire, 0.019 x 0.025-in steel wire (5.67 ± 3.97) showed lower means (P < 0.05) than 0.16-in NiTi wire (8.26 ± 10.92) and 0.016 x 0.021-in NiTi wire (8.51 ± 7.95), which did not differ from each other (P > 0.05). No statistical differences (P > 0.05) were found between zero (7.76 ± 8.46) and five-degree (7.19 ± 7.93) angulations.
Conclusions: Friction was influenced not only by the type of bracket, but also by the ligating systems. Different morphological aspects were observed for the brackets and wires studied.

Characteristics and Effectiveness of XP-Endo Files and Systems: A Narrative Review.
Int J Dent
December 2024
College of Dentistry, King Saud University, P. O. Box 68004, Riyadh 11527, Saudi Arabia.
XP-endo files are composed of Max-Wire alloy, which was developed by FKG Dentaire (La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland). This alloy, known as Martensite-Austenite Electropolish Flex, is the first NiTi alloy used in endodontics to combine the shape memory effect with superelasticity for use in clinical practice. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the existing knowledge and evidence regarding different XP-endo files and systems, XP-endo Finisher (XPEF), XP-endo Shaper (XPES), XP-endo Retreatment (XPER), XP-endo Rise (XPE-Rise), and XPE-Rise Retreatment (XPE-Rise-R), to help clinicians understand their different properties and recommended clinical uses.

This study investigates the release of metal ions from commonly used orthodontic archwires, specifically, stainless steel (SS), nickel-titanium (NiTi), chromium-cobalt (CrCo), and titanium-molybdenum (TMA) alloys. To simulate oral conditions, each type of wire was immersed in artificial saliva at body temperature for a four-week period. Ion release levels were analyzed through ICP-OES mass spectrometry.

A Modified Nickel Titanium Space Regainer Using an Open Coil Spring in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report.

This case report introduces a novel modification in the space-regaining process using a nickel-titanium (NiTi) open coil spring in a five-year-old male patient with early primary molar loss. The space deficiency, which led to occlusal discrepancies such as posterior crossbite, was efficiently managed using the NiTi wire and open coil spring, which is known for its superelasticity. The modification involved the use of a NiTi open coil spring, enabling effective space regaining and stabilization with band and loop space maintainers.

Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed how different constant temperatures (12°C, 37°C, and 50°C) affect the unloading force of three types of nickel-titanium (NiTi) archwires used in orthodontics.
- Three types of archwires tested included superelastic, heat-activated at 25°C, and thermally activated at 35°C, with results measured through a three-point bending test.
- Findings revealed that all wire types demonstrated thermal sensitivity, with unloading forces increasing at higher temperatures and varying responses among the types, particularly showing the greatest sensitivity in the thermally activated Ti-Lite® wire.
