Evaluation of Surface Roughness and Microbial Biofilm Adhesion of Different Orthodontic Arch-wires

Abstract
Objectives: To assess the capability of different orthodontic arch-wires to retain oral biofilm and to correlate the adhesion to surface roughness of the wires. Methods: Four types of orthodontic arch- wires were used for the study, Nickel-titanium (NiTi), Copper nickel-titanium (Cu-NiTi) , Beta Titanium (TMA ) & Beta III Titanium (CNA) new arch wires and 4 weeks after intraoral usage, were examin...
