Influence of Fluid Media On The Frictional Coefficients in Orthodontic Sliding by Lemon.orthodontist is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The study investigates the effectiveness of various fluids, including human saliva, deionized water, and five artificial salivas, in measuring the frictional coefficients of orthodontic archwires against brackets. Results indicate that only human saliva accurately reflects in vivo conditions, with static and kinetic coefficients of friction measured at 0.31 and 0.26 respectively, while artificial salivas showed higher friction values. The findings suggest that human saliva is essential for reliable assessme
