| description | Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of common methods of sterilization on the tensile strength of Beta titanium, Stainless steel, Australian Stainless steel, Copper Nickel-Titanium, and Nickel-Titanium wires. It also aimed to evaluate the changes in tensile strength values caused by repeated cycles of sterilization. Materials and Methods: A sample of 225 orthodontic wires, i.e., beta-titanium, stainless steel, Australian stainless steel, copper nickel-titanium, and nickel-titanium wires, were collected from different manufacturers. These wires were divided into three groups, which consists of Groups 1, 2, and 3. Four methods of sterilization used in this study were as follows: (i) autoclave (250°F for 20 min), (ii) dry heat sterilization (375°F for 20 min), (iii) ethylene oxide sterilization (54°C for 4 hrs), and (iv) 2.45% acidic glutaraldehyde (10 hrs). Results: The results of this study showed that there was increase in tensile strength of beta-titanium and nickel-titanium wires using autoclave and dry heat sterilization. No statistically significant difference in tensile strength of stainless steel and Australian stainless steel archwires. The tensile strength of copper nickel-titanium wires decreased following 0, 1, and 5 cycles of sterilization. Conclusion: The lack of statistically significant differences established in the study of new and sterilized orthodontic archwires gives us reason to conclude that the orthodontic arch wires can be sterilized because the sterilizing processes do not affect their tensile strength and the orthodontists could thus ensure the maximum safety of their patients. |
