Dynamic behavior and surface characteristics of conventional and self-ligating brackets
Objective: The purpose of this study is to compare, in vitro, the resistance to sliding generatedby conventional, active self-ligating and passive self-ligating brackets with stainless steeland nickel-titanium wires and to evaluate the effects of binding. Moreover, the influence of bracket slot surface roughness on fri...
