Background Retainer is a necessary procedure when orthodontic treatment complete to
avoid relapse due to periodontal fiber elasticity and to allow for alveolar bone regeneration …

This study aimed to fabricate nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) grafted/non-grafted E-glass-fiber-
based (nHA/EG) and E-glass fiber (EG) orthodontic retainers and to compare their properties …

Background Clinicians often utilize both flowable and packable composites concurrently in
bonding fixed retainers. Thus, this study aimed to assess the synergistic effect of these …

Objectives. This study assessed the shear bond strength (SBS) of four types of orthodontic
retainers after thermocycling and cyclic loading. Materials and Methods. This in vitro …

Introduction: We aimed to assess the impact of adhesive and wires types on the tensile bond
strength of fixed lingual retainers. Methods: A total of 160 intact bovine teeth were collected …

Abstract Background and Aims: Ensuring the long-term stability of orthodontic treatments
and preventing tooth relapse remains a significant challenge in orthodontics, often …

Materials and Methods: In this laboratory study, each group comprised 12 samples of
twisted, flat, and coaxial retainer wires, each measuring 8 mm in length. These samples …
