Comparison of static friction and surface topography of low friction and conventional TMA orthodontic arch wires: An in-vitro study
Background: Arch wire surface characteristics, especially surface roughness and topography, influence the coefficient of friction during sliding. The clinician should be familiar with the properties of orthodontic appliances and materials that could result in high friction to maximize the efficiency...
