UNASSIGNED: The study used 60 orthodontic SS wire specimens, organized into six groups of ten each. The control group had uncoated wires, and the experimental group featured wires coated with silver dioxide and titanium oxide. Surface modification was done using DC sputtering, and microbiological tests assessed the antibacterial and anti-adherent properties of the AgO2- and TiO2-coated wires.
UNASSIGNED: This study demonstrated the antibacterial effect against S. sanguis in orthodontic wires coated with the photocatalytic AgO2 and TiO2 compared to the uncoated wires. Also, this study demonstrated an anti-adherent effect in the AgO2- and TiO2-coated orthodontic wires. Moreover, the bacterial accumulation on orthodontic wires coated with AgO2 and TiO2 was lower compared to that on the uncoated wires.
UNASSIGNED: During orthodontic treatment, the formation of dental plaque can be prevented by coating the surface of stainless-steel orthodontic wires with photocatalytic AgO2 and TiO2. Compared to silver dioxide, the titanium oxide-coated SS orthodontic wires showed better antibacterial and anti-adherent properties.
■该研究使用了60个正畸SS丝标本,分为六组,每组十人。对照组有无涂层的电线,实验组的特征是涂有二氧化银和氧化钛的电线。使用DC溅射进行表面改性,和微生物测试评估了AgO2和TiO2涂层电线的抗菌和抗粘附性能。
■这项研究证明了与未涂覆的电线相比,在用光催化AgO2和TiO2涂覆的正畸电线中对S.sanguis的抗菌作用。此外,这项研究证明了AgO2和TiO2涂层正畸线中的抗粘附作用。此外,与未涂覆的导线相比,涂覆有AgO2和TiO2的正畸导线上的细菌积累较低。
■在正畸治疗期间,通过用光催化AgO2和TiO2涂覆不锈钢正畸丝的表面可以防止牙菌斑的形成。与二氧化银相比,二氧化钛涂层的SS正畸丝显示出更好的抗菌和抗粘附性能。
