ResumoObjetivo: Avaliar os efeitos de diferentes bebidas alcoólicas sobre a força de decaimento de elásticos ortodônticos. Material e método: Em estudo laboratorial, foram testados 7 grupos de amostra, sendo: 1 grupo controle representado pela água destilada, e 6 experimentais: 2-Wisky, 3-Conhaque, 4-Vodka, 5-Cerveja, 6-Cachaça e 7-Vinho. Utilizou-se gabaritos para realizar a submersão das cadeias nas soluções de bebidas alcoólicas durante 30 segundos, uma vez ao dia nos grupos experimentais. A medição de força foi realizada com um dinamômetro digital em seis períodos diferentes 0, 1, 7, 14, 21 e 28 dias. Resultado: Não houve diferenças significativas entre os tratamentos nos momentos baseline, 7 dias, 14 dias e 28 dias. Foram observadas diferenças estatísticas entre o grupo 7 e os demais no momento 24 horas e entre o grupo 1 e os demais no período 21 dias. No período 28 dias não houve diferenças significativas no padrão de força entre todos os grupos (p<0.05) Conclusão: As bebidas alcoolicas não exercem influência na degradação da força dos elásticos em cadeia.Descritores: Ortodontia corretiva; elastômeros; bebidas alcóolicas. AbstractObjective: To evaluate the effects of different alcoholic beverages on the decline in force of orthodontic elastics. Material and method: In a laboratory study, 6 groups of alcoholic beverages were tested. Control group (Group 1) was composed of distilled water. Experimental groups were Whisky (Group 2), Brandy (Group 3), Vodka (Group 4), Beer (Group 5), Sugar Cane Spirit/Rum (Group 6), Wine (Group 7). In the experimental groups, templates were used to enable elastics to be submerged in the alcoholic beverages for 30 seconds once a day. Force was measured with a digital dynamometer in six different time intervals: baseline, 1, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. Result: There were no significant differences between the treatments in the time intervals: baseline, 7, 14 and 28 days. There were statistical differences between Group 7 and the others in the first 24 hours, and between Group 1 and the others after 21 days. After 28 days, there were no significant differences in the force pattern among all groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: Alcoholic beverages had no influence on the decline in force of the chain elastics.
