NITINOL CORROSION UNDER FORCE STRESSES IN SIMULATED PHYSIOLOGICAL FLUID WITH AND WITHOUT FLUORIDES

ABSTRACT Introduction: nickel-titanium (nitinol) wires may potentially corrode oral environments causing biocompatibility problems. The purpose of this study was to compare the behavior of corrosion of nitinol wires in artificial saliva with different levels of pH, fluoride concentration, and tensi...
