Evaluation of the Loading, Unloading, and Permanent Deformation of Newly Available Epoxy Resin Coated Ni-Ti Wires Using Self-Ligating Brackets
Figure 6
Comparison of mean force (N) load and unload deflection between the coated and regular rectangular TP Ni-Ti Ni-Ti wires. There was a statistically significant increase in the coated Ni-Ti wires at 1 mm () and a decrease at 3 mm () load deflection compared with the regular Ni-Ti wire. There was no statistically significant difference in unload deflection.
