Electrochemical and surface characterisation of NiTi shape memory alloy in artificial saliva and fluoride solution
Kocijan, Aleksandra ; Godec, Matjaž, 1961- ; Jenko, Monika, metalurginja
Titanium alloys such as NiTi shape memory alloys are the most commonly used materials for making orthodontic wires because of their interesting physical properties. The elasticity and shape memory of ...these types of wires means that they can be used in different orthodontic treatment stages to correct numerous clinical conditions. The shape memory effect and the pseudoelasticity of NiTi alloys were developed in the early 1960s and later introduced into orthodontic applications. The pseudoelastic property allows the orthodontist to apply an almost light force with greater activation. The use of fluoride mouthwashes in population drastically increased in the last decade due to positive effect on preventing teeth from dental caries. Fluoride promotes the formation of calcium fluoride globules that adhere to the teeth and stimulate remineralization while protecting against acid attack. Fluoride mouthwashes thus help prevent the development of caries and protect dental enamel. The deterioration of the corrosion resistance of orthodontic wires has two consequences: the first is a loss of the physical properties which play in the success of the clinical treatment; the second is the releaseof Ni ions, which have potential toxic and allergic consequences. Furthermore, an increase in the release of Ti ions indicates the deterioration of the protective surface film on NiTi alloys which can lead to asimultaneous increase in Ni ion release. The aim of the present study was to compare the electrochemical properties of the commercial binary NiTi dental alloy in artificial saliva and with the addition of sodium fluoride, in order to assess the influence of fluoride mouthwash products on the corrosion resistance of orthodontic wires. The surface characterization was also performed using SEM/EDS/EBSD.
