The Effect of Shear Bond Strengths and the Mode of Bond Failure in Metal and Ceramic Brackets Bonded with Fluoride Releasing Composites: An in vitro Comparative Study
Abstract: One of the standard measures in the prevention of enamel demineralization is the use of Fluoride. Fixed orthodontic attachments act as a retentive area for plaque accumulation that leads to development of white spot lesions (WSLs). Incorporation of fluoride into adhesives for bracket bonding inhibitsdemineralization during fixed orthodontic treatment. However, the addition of fluoride into orthodontic adhesives may affect the mechanical properties such asshear bond strength (SBS). The present study …

Analysis of Steering Bracket to reduce its Manufacturing Failure
Abstract: AbstractSteering mechanism is one of the important aspects of any vehicle. The function of mounting bracket is to mount the steering gearbox on chassis. A mounting bracket is very critical part in vehicle. The holes were produced on the steering bracket using punching operation. The punched hole leads to failure of the bracket due to the cyclic loading of bolts during the working condition. The failure leads to maintenance of …

Advances in Polymer-Based Orthodontic Materials for Enhanced Treatment Efficiency
Abstract: Polymers, particularly shape-memory polymers, fiber-reinforced composites, and elastomeric materials, provide enhanced mechanical properties such as flexibility, durability, and controlled force application, leading to improved treatment outcomes. These materials offer superior biocompatibility, reducing irritation and discomfort for patients while ensuring efficient and predictable tooth movement. It is important to note one of the key advancements in orthodontics is the use of shape-memory polymers, which can respond to temperature or external stimuli, …
