Comparison of surface topography changes from conventional metal brackets and self-ligating metal brackets after immersion in three different mouthwashes using atomic force microscopy: An in vitro study

In orthodontics, the surface roughness and corrosion behavior due to metal ion releases in orthodontic brackets and archwires affect the effectiveness of tooth movement. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) can provide three-dimensional information measurements which are used to evaluate the quantitative a...
