Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare three types of commercially available brackets for corrosion susceptibility after immersing them in artificial saliva. A total of 360 brackets were used. The brackets were divided in to four groups (Control Group X and Experimental Groups A, B and C). The experimental groups were divided on the basis of duration of immersion in artificial saliva of pH 6.75 ± 0.15. Each group was divided in to corresponding subgroups. The bracket surfaces were analysed using UV –Visible Spectrophotometer and Small Angle Xray Scattering (SAXSS). ANOVA (Analysis of One Way Variance) was used for group comparisons. For post hoc comparisons Newman-Keuls multiple posthoc procedure was applied. Leone and Nu Edge Cr- Co brackets showed progressive signs of corrosion and leaching of Fe and Mg ions after immersion in artificial saliva. Discovery SL brackets showed no signs of corrosion. Leone and Cr-Co Nu Edge are susceptible to corrosion activity in comparison to Discovery SL brackets.
