Impact of chlorine dioxide and chlorhexidine mouthwashes on friction and surface roughness of orthodontic stainless steel wires: an in-vitro comparative study

HIGHLIGHTS

  • What: The authors intended to determine how chlorine dioxide-containing mouthwash affected the frictional force and surface roughness of stainless-steel orthodontic archwires, given the assumption that these properties would not alter much. This study assessed static friction since the sliding motion of teeth down an archwire is not uninterrupted but occurs in a sequence of brief leaps or jumps.
  • Who: Surface characteristics and collaborators from the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics, Manipal College of Dental Sciences, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, Karanataka, India, Al-Mustansiriya University have published the research work: Impact . . .
