The Effect of Perturbations on Resistance to Sliding in Second Order Moments Using Conventional Ligated Brackets Versus Passive Self Ligated Brackets
DownloadFall 2013
Abstract Objectives: A novel frictional and perturbation device was used to investigate the role of vibrations on resistance to sliding (RS) in conventional and passive ligated brackets Methods: 150 3M Victory Series twins (0.022 slot) and 150 Damon Q brackets (0.022 slot) were tested using an...
