“…Nonetheless, as in other studies, 6,7,14 a high level of variability was noted, leading to questions about uniformity in composition and dimension, regardless of brand. Indeed, unmagnified examination of the three products revealed obvious quality control issues in thickness and uniformity (Figures 4 through 6), which the authors believe contributed greatly to variability in force measurements.…”

“…Various studies 2,3,[5][6][7][8][9]3,14,[17][18][19][20] have attempted to establish the mechanical and environmental factors that contribute to the force decay of interarch elastics. However, a recent study 18 involving the effects of pH levels did not consider interarch elastics, nor the material modifications of the past 20 years.…”

“…Por tal motivo, el presente estudio trató de reproducir algunas variables como humedad, temperatura, extensión y tiempo de uso de los elásticos, in vitro, de tal manera que estas condiciones pudieron ser controladas con precisión. Los resultados obtenidos coincidieron con los hallazgos de otros estudios donde también encontraron que las fuerzas iniciales fueron menores en los elásticos de látex (Kersey et al) y mayores en las de no látex (Alavi et al; Russel et al, 2001;López et al) que las especificadas por el fabricante. Sin embargo, también se encontraron resultados opuestos, donde las fuerzas iniciales fueron mayores en los elásticos de látex (López et al; Russel et al) y menores en las de no látex (Kersey et al) que las especificadas por el fabricante.…”
