| Summary: | <span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>There has been a considerable discussion in the literature about corrosion and sensitivity to the nickel present in stainless steel </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>brackets. Titanium has been heralded as a material totally compatible in the oral environment and superior in structural integrity </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>compared to stainless steel. Many current applications in dentistry and medicine have made titanium an obvious choice for a </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>possible substitute material. Titanium based brackets have shown excellent corrosion resistance and possessed good biocompatibility. </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>Evaluation of titanium brackets for orthodontic therapy showed that titanium brackets were comparable to stainless steel brackets </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>in passive and active configuration. Study about metallographic structure, hardness, bond strength to enamel substrate, etc. showed </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>that titanium brackets exhibited a potential for clinical application. It was concluded that titanium brackets were suitable substitute </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>for stainless steel brackets.</em></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" /></span> |
