Evaluation of the Loading, Unloading, and Permanent Deformation of Newly Available Epoxy Resin Coated Ni-Ti Wires Using Self-Ligating Brackets

Figure 3

Comparison of the mean force (N) load and unload deflection between the coated and regular Ah Kim Pech 0.016′′ Ni-Ti wires. There was a statistically significant difference in the coated Ni-Ti wires at 1 mm (), 2 mm (), 3 mm (), and 5 mm () load deflection and for unload deflection at 1 mm (), 2 mm (), and 3 mm ().
