Corrosion of copper nickel titanium archwire in chlorhexidine, sodium fluoride, and chitosan mouthwashes [version 2; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]
Background: Copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr) ion release, and surface topography change from the orthodontic wire are the initial processes of corrosion that may affect the mechanical properties of the archwire. In this study, we aim to evaluate the effect of CHX, NaF, and chitosan on the co...
