Abstract

Introduction and objective: Friction in orthodontics is produced by direct contact be­tween the bracket, the wire, and the ligature. Friction reduces efficiency in orthodontic treatments. This research aims to compare the frictional resistance between conven­tional ceramic brackets and passive self-ligating ceramic brackets using a finite ele­ment method (FEM). Materials and methods: A total of 810 slidings were performed, combining conventional and self-ligating ceramic brackets, and stainless steel, nic­kel-titanium, and b-titanium alloy orthodontic wires of 0.016inch, 0.017x0.025inch, and 0.019x0.025inch. The maximum static frictional resistance (MSFR) mean was com­pared between the different brackets, wire, ligature, and bracket angulation combi­nations of 0°, 7°, and 13°. Results: The variables with the highest frictional behavior were 13°, b-titanium alloy, 0.017x0.025inch, and conventional ceramic brackets with an elastic ligatures. Conclusion: FEM is an adequate alternative for the prediction of MSRF in a various brackets, wire, ligating, and angulation combinations. The method allowed defining lower frictional resistance for self-ligating brackets, as well as a di­rect relationship between the increase in the angle and contact area between bracket and wire, with higher values of sliding resistance. It was established that a larger wire size does not imply a higher area of contact with the bracket.
