ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to evaluate the frictional resistance created in self-ligating esthetic and conventional brackets during simulated orthodontic sliding mechanics. Four different types of brackets were used: 3 self-ligating type of different brands (Clarity SL, 3M Unitek; Damon 3®, Ormco Corporation; In-Ovation C®, GAC International), in addition to conventional esthetic brackets (Radiance®, American Orthodontics) associated with conventional elastic ligatures (Sani-tie®, GAC International) and low friction ligatures (Slide®, Leone). To simulate sliding mechanics, stainless steel wires with thicknesses of 0.018" and 0.017"x0.025" (GAC International) were used. Five groups (n=10) were submitted to five consecutive mechanical tests in a universal test machine model Emic® DL 500. The results showed low frictional levels in all tested self-ligating brackets and with use of 0.018" wire (p<0.05). However, with 0.017x0.025" wire, Groups Damon 3, Clarity SL and Slide showed lower frictional forces when compared with In-Ovation C (p>0.05). Moreover, conventional esthetic brackets associated with conventional ligatures resulted in greater frictional resistance with both wires tested (p>0.05). All the self-ligating brackets presented lower frictional levels than the conventional accessories. Active self-ligating bracket In-Ovation C, demonstrated higher degree of frictional force when associated with rectangular wire. The Slide® ligature may be an alternative to the use of self-ligating brackets.
RESUMEN
El objetivo fue evaluar la resistencia a la fricción producida en de brackets de autoligado estéticos y convencionales durante la simulación mecánica de deslizamiento ortodóncico. Se utilizaron cuatro tipos diferentes de soportes: 3 de tipo autoligado de diferentes marcas (Clarity SL, 3M Unitek; Damon 3®, Ormco Corporation; In-Ovation C®, GAC International), además de brackets estéticos convencionales (Radiance®, American Orthodontics) asociado con ligaduras elásticas convencionales (Sani-tie®, GAC International) y ligaduras de baja fricción (Slide®, Leone). Para simular la mecánica de deslizamiento, se utilizaron alambres de acero inoxidable con un espesor de 0,018" y 0,017"x0.025" (GAC Internacional). Cinco grupos (n = 10) fueron sometidos a cinco pruebas mecánicas consecutivas en una máquina de prueba universal modelo Emic DL ® 500. Los resultados mostraron niveles bajos de fricción en todos brackets de autoligado probados y con el uso de alambre de 0.018" (p<0,05). Sin embargo, con alambe de 0,017x0,025", los grupos Damon 3, Clarity SL y Slide® mostraron menores fuerzas de fricción en comparación con In-Ovation C (p>0,05). Por otra parte, los brackets estéticos convencionales asociados con ligaduras convencionales resultaron tener una mayor resistencia a la fricción con ambos alambres probados (p>0,05). Todos los brackets de autoligado presentan niveles de fricción más bajo que los accesorios convencionales. El brackets activo de autoligado In-Ovation C, demostró un mayor grado de fuerza friccional cuando se asocia con alambre rectangular. La ligadura Slide® puede ser una alternativa al uso de brackets de autoligado.
