Evaluation of the friction force generated by monocristalyne and policristalyne ceramic brackets in sliding mechanics

Evaluation of the friction force generated by monocristalyne and policristalyne ceramic brackets in sliding mechanics

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and compare "in vitro" the maximum friction force generated by three types of esthetic brackets, two types of polycrystalline conventional ceramic brackets (20/40 and InVu) and one type of sapphire monocrystalline bracket (Radiance) in dry and artificial saliva wet s...
