Assessment of surface friction of self-ligating brackets under conditions of angulated traction Avaliação da fricção superficial apresentada por braquetes autoligáveis em condições de tracionamento sob angulação
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess resistance to sliding of stainless steel passive self-ligating brackets with 0° and 2.5° angulations and to compare them to active self-ligating brackets at zero angulation. The hypothesis to be tested was that passive self-ligating brackets produce low...
