The effect of archwire vibrations on the stick-slip behavior of the bracket-archwire interface utilizing clinically relevant tipping moments
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-07-27)
This study evaluated bracket-archwire frictional resistance as a function of ligation
method and archwire vibration. In vivo archwire vibrations were measured to obtain
frequencies and amplitudes for ex vivo testing. ...
The effect of simulated oral and clinical conditions on the fracture strength of ceramic bracket tie-wings
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-08-12)
This study examined the effect of simulated oral and clinical conditions on the tie-wing
fracture strength of a polycrystalline and a monocrystalline bracket. Fracture strength
was measured for brackets as-received ...
The effect of phosphoric acid etch in conjunction with self-etching primer on enamel surfaces and resultant orthodontic bracket bond strength
(2013-11-27)
This study examined the methods of preparing the enamel surface for orthodontic bracket adhesion in overcoming pellicle and possible fluid contamination from prebonding cleaning techniques and the effect of these treatments ...
