“…Polycarbonate has been widely used in orthodontic appliances such as esthetic brackets and clear retainers [4], and it was used as a matrix of the GFRTP because of its high transparency, low weight, and high heat resistance [2,5]. e previous study confirmed that the GFRTP wires are more transparent than conventional metallic wires [2].…”

In this work, we investigated the properties of a glass-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic (GFRTP) composed of small-diameter (ϕ � 5 μm), high-strength glass (T-glass) fibers and polycarbonate for esthetic orthodontic wires formed using pultrusion. After fabricating such GFRTP round wires, the effects of varying fiber diameter (5 to 13 mm) on the mechanical properties, durabilities, and color stabilities were evaluated. e results showed that the mechanical properties of GFRTPs tend to increase with decreasing fiber diameter. Additionally, it was confirmed that the present GFRTP wires containing T-glass fibers have better flexural properties than previously reported GFRTP wires containing E-glass fibers. Meanwhile, thermocycling did not significantly affect the flexural properties of the GFRTP wires. Furthermore, the GFRTP wires showed color changes lower than the acceptable threshold level for color differences on immersion in coffee. From these results obtained in the present work, the GFRTP wires containing high-strength glass fibers have excellent properties for orthodontic applications. Our findings suggest that the GFRTPs might be applied to all phases of orthodontic treatment because their properties can be tuned by changing the fiber properties such as fiber type and diameter.

“…20 Meanwhile, out of 9 comparisons tested in 8 studies employing chemically-cured materials, failures ranged from 7.8% 35 up to 71%. 27 Nevertheless, the advantages of light-curing (curing on command, fast setting, better monomer conversion, less oxygen inhibition) seem to facilitate the bonding protocols of the retainers, considering that the majority of resin composite viscosities are available excessively in light-cured versions.…”

SummaryThe aim of the study is to evaluate the long term results of ribbond retainer after orthodontic treatment. One hundred and thirty patients who were orthodontically treated satisfied the inclusion criteria of having received a semipermanent retention were treated with FRC lingual retainers (Ribbond ® ). It was performed a follow up evaluation after 2 years average from the retainer application and any complication or failure was recorded. Data from 119 remaining patients that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed and no instances of loosening were observed. It may be concluded that orthodontic canine-to-canine FRC retainers provide aneffective means of retaining realigned anterior teeth for at least two years.
