Impact of Simulated Gastric Acid on Surface Roughness and Frictional Resistance of Orthodontic Archwires: An In vitro Study
Introduction: Acid regurgitation caused by gastro-oesophageal reflux disease can lead to decreases in intraoral pH below the critical pH for orthodontic appliances. Exposure of brackets and archwires to such acidic environments causes changes in the surface properties that affect the frictional...
