"Comparative evaluation of surface modified elastomeric ligatures for microbial colonization": An in vivo study
Introduction: Elastomeric ligatures are observed to reduce chair side time; however, they are also seen to have greater bacterial adhesion. Polymeric coating utilizing the Metafasix Technology and the OrthoShield Technology have been introduced in the Super Slick™FNx01 and Safe-T-Ties™FNx08 by TP Or...
