Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Color changes of esthetic orthodontic ligatures evaluated by orthodontists and patients: a clinical study(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-10) KAWABATA, Edilene; DANTAS, Vera Lucia; KATO, Carlos Brito; NORMANDO, Antonio David CorrêaObjective: To evaluate in vivo changes in the color of esthetic elastomeric ligatures from different manufacturers. Methods: Four widely used commercial brands of elastomeric ligatures were selected and used in 20 adult patients in a splitmouth design. The ligatures were evaluated by orthodontists and patients in a double-blind manner on the day the ligatures were placed (T0 ) and 30 days after intraoral exposure (T1 ) by means of a system of staining scores. Groups were compared by Friedman test with p < 0.05. Results: Orthodontists and patients reported similar staining scores (p > 0.05). Results showed that all brands underwent significant staining when exposed to the intraoral environment. Modularcrystal MorelliTM (Sorocaba, SP, Brazil) showed the highest degree of staining with the median reaching the maximum value (3); while the other brands (3M UnitekTM, American OrthodonticsTM and GAC DentsplyTM) showed the median equal to 1 (p < 0.001). A large individual variability in the degree of staining was also found for all brands. Conclusions: All four brands of esthetic ligatures showed significant staining, which appeared to be more pronounced for the MorelliTM brand. Changes in color of the elastomeric ligatures were perceived similarly by patients and orthodontists. The industry needs to improve the color stability of esthetic ligatures.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) In vivo color changes of esthetic orthodontic ligatures(2012-10) SILVA, Andréia Viana Martins da; MATTOS, Giselle Vasconcelos de; KATO, Carlos Mario; NORMANDO, Antonio David CorrêaOBJECTIVE: To assess the color changes that occur in four commercial brands of esthetic orthodontic elastomeric ligatures after exposure to the oral environment. METHODS: The four elastomeric ligatures manufacturers mostly mentioned by orthodontists were investigated: Morelli, Uniden, American Orthodontics (AO) and TP. The sample comprised 25 patients. The elastomeric ligatures were randomly distributed and arranged in the four dental quadrants of each patient, r for 30 days. After this period, two units of each brand were photographed in a standardized manner. Subsequently, color changes were visually evaluated and assigned a score (0, 1, 2 or 3) by a panel of four examiners. The mean scores assigned by the examiners were statistically analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey's test (p < 0.05). RESULTS: The mean pigmentation scores assigned to Morelli (1.80 ± 0.78) and Uniden (1.92 ± 0.66) elastomeric ligatures after 30 days in the oral environment were not statistically different. However, these brands were significantly more pigmented after 30 days in the oral environment (p < 0.01) compared to American Orthodontics (0.97 ± 0.6) and TP (0.83 ± 0.79). CONCLUSIONS: Although all four brands exhibited an undesirable pigmentation after 30 days in the oral environment, color change for American Orthodontics and TP Orthodontics ligatures was significantly lower than Morelli and Uniden products.
