Abstract (english)
Objective: This study aimed to compare the force degradation of elastomeric chains submerged in commonly used mouthrinses. Methods: One hundred samples of elastomeric orthodontic chains from five different brands (Ormco, GC, RMO, Forestandent, and 3M Unitek) were initially activated on double length, and the force was measured with a universal mechanical testing machine. Then, elastomeric modules were thermocycled and immersed into four different mouthrinses: Octenident, Vitis Orthodontic, Perio Plus+, and Listerine through a total number of three cycles which simulated 30 days of intraoral exposure. Force decay was measured after each cycle. Results: All specimens showed statistically significant force degradation over the tested period (p < 0.001). After thermocycling and immersion in oral antiseptics, the lowest measured force was found in Forestadent EOC in Listerine with a median of 70 cN (70–75 cN) and Vitis orthodontic with a median of 70 cN (70–80 cN). On the contrary, the least prone to force reduction was the control group of Ormco 280 cN (275–285 cN) and RMO 280 cN (270–280 cN). Conclusions: Elastomeric chains’ force degradation could be exacerbated by the use of mouth rinses. These data could be beneficial in choosing the appropriate combination of elastomeric chain and mouthrinse for optimal results of orthodontic therapy.
