Pengaruh Perendaman Kawat Nikel-Titanium Termal Ortodonti dalam Minuman Teh Kemasan terhadap Gaya Defleksi Kawat
ABSTRACT: The acidic salivary
pH cause potentially undergo orthodontic wire constituent metal ions release.
The release of metal ions can affect the quality of orthodontic wire. Objective:
To analyze the effect of immersion thermal NiTi archwire in the bottled tea
drinks tothe archwire force deflection. Material and Methods: The sample size
were 12 round thermal NiTi orthodontic archwires (3M; 0,016 inch) which divided
into three groups: a control group (artificial saliva), a group of bottled tea
drinks and bottled tea drinks of fruit flavors. The samples were immersed in an
incubator for 10.5 hours at 37 ° C. The deflection test used Three-Point Bending
method with a Universal Testing Machine in each group. Results and Conclusion:The
results of One Way ANOVA test obtained value of 0.768 (p>0.05) which
indicates that no significant difference in each group. The conclusion from
this study is the bottled tea drinks can not affect the force deflection of
thermal NiTi orthodontic archwires.
