The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of heat treatment on physical properties of 0.016' and 0.016' x 0.022' stainless steel wires. Temperature of heat treatment had intervals of $50^{\circ}C$ from $400^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$, and time of heat treatment were 3, 6 and 9 minutes. Tensile tests were measured by ultimate tensile strength and yield strength. Bending tests were assessed by maximum bending force, recovery force, and stiffness. Torsion test was evaluated by torsion cycle until wires were fractured. The results were as follows: 1. In round wires, the highest value of ultimate tensile strength and yield strength were recorded of heat treatment at $500^{\circ}C$. In rectangular wires, the highest value of ultimate tensile strength were after 9 minutes at $400^{\circ}C,\;450^{\circ}C$ and 3, 6 minutes of heat treatment at $50^{\circ}C$, yield strength were the highest value after 3, 6 minutes of heat treatment at $500^{\circ}C$. 2. In both round and rectangular wires, maximum bending force and recovery force were the highest values after 6 minutes of heat treatment at $500^{\circ}C$. In round wires, highest value of stiffness were formed after 9 minutes at heat treatment at $500^{\circ}C$. In rectangular wires, the highest value of stiffness were for 6 minutes in $500^{\circ}C$. 3. In rectangular wires, torsion cycle was minimum after 6 minutes of heat treatment at $500^{\circ}C$. 4. In all of tension, bending, and torsion tests, the heat treated wires were softened over at $700^{\circ}C$. 5. In all of tension, bending, and torsion tests, physical properties of the wires were more influenced by the temperatures than the duration of the heat treatment.

Objective: We evaluated the detachment force, amount of deformation, fracture mode, and pull-out force of 3 different wires used for bonded lingual retainer fabrication. Methods: We tested 0.0215-inch five-stranded wire (PentaOne, Masel; group I), $0.016{\times}0.022$-inch dead-soft eight-braided wire (Bond-A-Braid, Reliance; group II), and 0.0195-inch dead-soft coaxial wire (Respond, Ormco; group III). To test detachment force, deformation, and fracture mode, we embedded 94 lower incisor teeth in acrylic blocks in pairs. Retainer wires were bonded to the teeth and vertically directed force was applied to the wire. To test pull-out force, wires were embedded in composite that was placed in a hole at the center of an acrylic block. Tensile force was applied along the long axis of the wire. Results: Detachment force and mode of fracture were not different between groups. Deformation was significantly higher in groups II and III than in group I (p < 0.001). Mean pull-out force was significantly higher for group I compared to groups II and III (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Detachment force and fracture mode were similar for all wires, but greater deformations were seen in dead-soft wires. Wire pull-out force was significantly higher for five-stranded coaxial wire than for the other wires tested. Five-stranded coaxial wires are suggested for use in bonded lingual retainers.

The introduction of cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT) and computer software in orthodontics has allowed orthodontists to provide more accurate diagnosis and treatment. The most common use of CBCT imaging allows orthodontists to visualize the precise position of supernumerary or impacted teeth, especially impacted canines. In doing so, the exact angulation of impaction and proximity of adjacent roots can be evaluated by orthodontists, allowing them to choose vector forces for tooth movement while minimizing root resorption. Even though 2-dimensional panoramic images can be used to view the position of the impacted canines, they have limitations because it is not possible to evaluate the impacted tooth position 3-dimensionally. An accurate knowledge of root position improves the determination of success in orthodontic treatment. Nowadays, considering the fast pace of technological development, a combination of intraoral scanning, digital setups, custommade brackets and wires, and indirect bonding may soon become the orthodontic standard. In this paper, this will be discussed along with the digital models.

The friction of orthodontic appliances is recogonized to be detrimental to tooth movement. The purpose of this study was to determine the magnitude of frictional force changes between bracket$(018'\times025'\;solt)$ and orthodontic wires(stainless steel, cobalt-chromium, and $\beta-titanium$, $017'\times0.25'$ rectangular) with time. The wire was secured in the bracket slot with a elastomeric ligature. Frictional forces were measured by universal testing machine. The following conclusions were obtained. 1. The frictional forces under dry condition were greater than those in saliva. 2. The frictional forces produced by cobalt-chromium wire were less than those generated by stainless steel and $\beta-titanium$ wire. 3. The frictional forces increased progressively with time, and the amount of increase on first two weeks was greater than on last two weeks. 4. The change of frictional force under dry condition was greater than in artificial saliva.

The physical properties of seven sizes of control groups and experimental group in stainless steel orthodontic wires were studied in tension, hardness, bending, torsion and observation of microstructure. The wires (0.40-0.90mm dia.) of round type were tested in the as-received condition. The wires of control groups were TRU-CHROME and REMANIUM, and experimental group was SK wire which was developed by ourselves and made in Korea. The results were as follows; 1. The chemical compositions of control groups and experimental group were austenite stainless steel wires of SOS 304. 2. Higher values of tensile and yield strength in tension were control group I, experimental group, control group II. Maximum tensile and yield strength of experimental group were $203.63{\pm}1.41kg/mm^2$ in 0.70mm diameter and $148.96{\pm}4.88kg/mm^2$ in 0.60mm diameter, and maximum elongation was $5.20{\pm}0.57%$ in 0.45mm diameter. 3. Hardness values of experimental group were similar to control groups. Maximum hardness values were $596.2{\pm}13.66Hv$ in 0.45mm diameter wire of control group I, $590.5{\pm}20.08Hv$ in 0.50mm diameter wire of control group II, and $563.6{\pm}5.35Hv$ in 0.70mm diameter wire of experimental group. 4. Torsion properties of experimental group were similar to control group I and more than control group II. Maximum torsion cycles were $31.8{\pm}2.48$ in 0.45mm diameter of control group I, $17.4{\pm}4.84$ in 0.60mm diameter of control group II, and $24.6{\pm}3.04$ in 0.45mm diameter of experimental group. 5. Maximum bending cycles of experimental group were smaller than control groups. Maximum bending cycles were $9.00{\pm}0.00$ in 0.50mm diameter wire of control group I, $10.0{\pm}0.82$ in 0.40mm diameter wire of control group II, and $8.0{\pm}1.26$ in 0.50mm diameter wire of experimental group. 6. Microstructures of experimental and control groups co-existed with martensited austenite structure and elongated austenite structure. 7. The direction of wire fracture was propagated parallel to torsion direction typically and there was no probability showing wire fracture at inclusions and surface scratches. 8. The type of wire fracture was brittle fracture at initiation site and ductile fracture at core.

Nitinol wires are now widely used in the orthodontic field because of their unique shape memory effect and superelasticity. But sometimes Nitinol wires are deformed in clinical use. Fatigue load is possible cause of Nitinol deformation. To determine the effect of fatigue load to the mechanical properties of Nitinol, various fatigue cycle$(1\times10^4,\;2\times10^4,\;3\times10^4,\;4\times10^4,\;5\times10^4,\;1\times10^5)$ were applied to $0.017\times0.025$ inch Nitinol. The results obtained were as follows ; 1. Applied load increased as fatigue cycle increased in three point bending test. 2. Maximum tensile strength and elongation decreased as fatigue cycle increased. 3. Tn SEM, brittle fracture pattern was increased when fatigue cycle increased.

It has been suggested that the frictional force between bracket and arch wire may impede the tooth movement. The present study was aimed to compare and analyze the effect of wire size, type of ligation, and duration of ligation on the magnitude of frictional force between cobalt chromium wire and stainless steel bracket under the artificial saliva. The results were as follows: 1. Type of ligation and size of wire were the main influencing factor on the level of friction. 2. Stainless steel ligature generated higher frictional forces than elastomeric module. 3. The rectangular wire consistently exhibited more frictional force values than round wires, while there was no significant difference between frictional forces of round wires. 4. In elastic ligature, frictional force decreased with time. 5. Artificial saliva had no significant influence on the frictional force between cobalt chromium wire and bracket.

본 연구의 목적은 교정치료의 마무리 단계에서 비람직하지 못한 순설측 경사를 가진 한 개 치아의 이동을 원할 때 브라켓 슬롯의 크기와 각형선재의 종류, 크기에 따라 부여하여야 할 적절한 임상적 torque (SWA의 각형선재에서 나머지 편평한 부분과 이동을 위해 변형시킨 부분의 단면이 이루는 각도만큼의 torque)의 양을 구하고자 하는 것이다. 임상적 torque는 play와 active torque(브라켓에 모멘트를 전달할 수 있는 torque)의 합으로 구성되는데, play는 수학적 공식을 이용하여 계산하였고 active torque는 컴퓨터를 이용한 삼차원 유한요소법으로 구하였다. 유한요소모델은 일렬로 배열된 세 개의 브라켓과 여기에 삽입된 stainless steel, TMA , NiTi 이렇게 3가지 종류의 교정용 각형선재로 구성된 다. 양쪽의 브라켓을 일정한 각도로 비틀어서 가운데 브라켓에 발생하는 모멘트를 계산하였다. 선재의 크기는 많이 사용되는 각형선재인 .016"X.022", .017"X.022", .017"X.025", .018"X.025", .019"X.025", .020"X.025". .021"X.025"의 7개로 디자인하였다. .018" 브라켓에는 .016"X.022", .017"X.022", .017"X.025" 선재를 삽입하여 실험하였고, .022" 브라켓에는 .016"X.022" 선재를 제외한 나미지 선재를 삽입하여 실험하였다. 실험으로 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 삽입된 브라켓 슬롯의 크기에 상관없이 같은 크기와 재질의 교정용 각형선재에 같은 active torque를 가하면 동일한 모멘트가 발생하였다. 2. 선재의 크기가 증가될 수록 동일한 active torque에 의해 발생되는 모멘트의 양은 증가하였다. 실험에 사용한 가장 굵은 선재인 .021"X.033" 선재는 동일한 재질의 가장 가는 .015"X.022" 선재에 비해 약 1.75배 더 큰 torsional stiffness를 가졌다. 3. 선재의 재질에 따라서는 stainless steel, TMA, NiTi순으로 torsional stiffness가 감소하였는데 stainless steel에 비해 TMA는 0.35배, NiTi는 0.16배였다. 4. 브라켓간 거리의 증가와 발생되는 torsional .stiffness는 반비례하였다. 브라켓간 거리의 증가에 의해 감소되는 torsional stiffness의 비율은 선재의 재질과 상관이 있었고 크기에 따라서는 큰 차이가 없었다. 5. 교정치료의 마무리 단계에서 이상적인 순설측 경사이동을 일으키는 임상적 torque의 공식과 값을 구하였다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of loop formation and heat treatment upon the elastic properties of orthodontic wires. The specimens selected were .016', .018', .016x.022', and .018x.022' sized stainless steel (standard) and cobalt-chromium-nickel wires, and were divided into 7 groups as; 1. straight non-heat treated 2. U looped non-heat treated 3. L looped non-heat treated 4. Circle looped non-heat treated 5. U looped heat treated 6. L looped heat treated 7. Circle looped heat treated Heat treatment was performed in Big Jane furnace at 850' F for 3 minutes. The elastic limit and the elastic range of each specimen were determined by bending test, and load deflection rate was computed from those values. The findings were as follows; 1. The formation of loop resulted in increased load-deflection rate for both stainless steel and cobalt-chromium-nickel wires. 2. The heat treated group showed higher load-deflection rate than non-heat treated group, which was more apparent in cobalt-chromiumnickel wire than in stainless steel wire. 3. L loop had the highest load-deflection rate among 3 types of loops, followed by U loop and circle loop. 4. The specimens with greater diameter displayed the more increase in load-deflection rate by looping and heat treatment.
