EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE MOUTH RINSES ON THE FORCE DEGRADATION OF ORTHODONTIC ELASTOMERIC CHAIN
Abstract
Aim of the study: To evaluate the effects of different commercial type of mouthwashes on the force decay
of the orthodontic elastomeric chain.
Materials and methods: two hundred pieces of the elastomeric chains with two different configurations
were divided into five groups (one control group and four different mouthwashes groups). after one-day
immersion in artificial saliva then immersion in the specific mouthwashes (kin, Vitis, perio_aid, splat) for
one minute twice daily and time intervals after 7 days, 14 days, 21 days, and 28 then washed and kept in
artificial saliva at 37°C again. Force decay was calculated by Instron measured, digital force gauge -
Instron universal testing machine then compared different force decay of elastic types.
Results: A significant difference was found among between the four types of mouth wash and control
group, according to close and short elastic chain the kin mouth wash was shows a significant difference
(0.002), while splat mouthwash was shown a no significant difference.
Conclusion: splat mouth wash groups showed no significant influence on the force degradation of the
chain elastics tested. Kin mouthwash exhibit the highest force decay and found different significant
effects.
