Main Article Content
Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of alcohol- containing mouthwash and alcohol-free mouthwash on frictional resistance of Nickel- Titanium and Stainless Steel orthodontic arch wires. Methods: A total of 40 extracted premolars mounted on a custom- made acrylic jig were randomly divided into 4 groups of 10 sample each, on which 0.019″ × 0.025″ nickel- titanium and stainless steel arch wires were ligated.Two experimental groups were immersed in Alcohol containing mouthwash (LISTERINE® COOLMINT) and two in Alcohol free mouthwash (COLGATE PLAX® FRESHMINT), for 1 hour respectively. Post- immersion static frictional resistance was evaluated on a universal testing machine at crosshead speed of 1mm/min.0ne way ANOVA and Post-hoc Tukey tests were used to compare the groups.
