| contents | <p><strong><span lang="EN-IN">Abstract</span></strong></p> <p><strong>Objective</strong>: This in-vitro study aimed to evaluate and compare the force decay of elastomeric chains and active tiebacks from three different orthodontic brands—3M, D-Tech, and Koden—over a 28-day period, subjected to double and triple elongation levels. Materials and</p> <p><strong>Methods</strong>: Elastomeric chains and active tiebacks from each brand were stretched to double and triple their original lengths and submerged in artificial saliva and maintained at room temperature throughout the testing period. A total of 252 specimens were tested—126 for elastomeric chains and 126 for active tiebacks—divided equally among the three brands and elongation groups. Force measurements were recorded using a force gauge (correx)at 1 day (T1), 7 days (T2), 14 days (T3), 21 days (T4), and 28 days (T5). Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Boneferroni post-hoc test in SPSS Version 26.0.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: All tested materials exhibited a significant decrease in force over time (p < 0.05). At both elongation levels continuous elastomeric chains demonstrated greater force retention compared to Active tieback across all brands. Among the three, 3M products showed the least force degradation, followed by D-Tech and Koden.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: Continuous elastomeric chains maintained more consistent force levels than Active tieback over 28 days. The findings suggest that brand selection and appropriate elongation are critical for optimizing orthodontic force application. 3M products demonstrated superior performance in terms of force stability, underscoring the importance of material quality in clinical orthodontic practice.</p> |
