Journal ArticleDOI

Force degradation of orthodontic elastomeric chains--a product comparison study.

David C. De Genova, +3 more
- 01 May 1985 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the force decay patterns of three commercially available elastomeric products (Ormco Power Chain II, Rocky Mountain Energy Chain, and TP Elast-O Chain) in a simulated oral environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Force decay and deformation of orthodontic elastomeric ligatures

Louis J. Taloumis, +3 more
- 01 Jan 1997 - 
TL;DR: The ligatures tested appear to be suitable for use during initial aligning and leveling, however, the rapid force loss and permanent deformation of these products may preclude their use for rotational and torque corrections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relaxation of Orthodontic Elastomeric Chains and Modules In Vitro and In Vivo

J.L. Ash, +1 more
- 01 May 1978 - 
TL;DR: Relaxation patterns for two orthodontic polyurethane-based elastics have been quantified in dry air and water bath environments and in vivo and they are apparently valid for up to a week following initial activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthetic elastomeric chains: A literature review

David L. Baty, +2 more
- 01 Jun 1994 - 
TL;DR: E l a s t o m e r is a general term that encompasses materials that, after substantial deformation, rapidly return to their original dimensions.

Frictional changes in force values caused by saliva substitution

Kevin L. Baker, +3 more
- 01 Apr 1987 - 
TL;DR: Clinically significant differences among the environmental conditions and among the wire sizes were found and the introduction of saliva substitute provides a significant reduction in force values.
