torque

Eficiência de braquetes convencionais e autoligados considerando seu atrito e expressão de torque durante o tratamento

Resumo: Introduction: Conventional and self-ligating brackets are commonly evaluated in relation to their efficiency differential in orthodontics, leading to the understanding that self-ligating brackets have less friction, due to their absence of elastic bandages, allowing for better sliding, while conventional brackets with elastic bandages provide greater friction. The efficiency levels are compared between the models of brackets on the market, evaluating in addition to friction, their torque expression during treatment. Review and discussion: The consequent study proposed to implement a literature review on the subject, analyzing the efficiency differential between the models of conventional and self-ligating brackets. Final considerations: In conclusion, through the referenced scientific articles, there is insufficient evidence of the superior efficiency of self-ligating brackets in relation to conventional brackets, but rather, differentials during treatment. Keywords: friction, orthodontic brackets, efficiency, torque. Expandir Resumo Acessar Texto Completo
