The effect of artificial saliva on the static and kinetic frictional forces of stainless steel (Dentaurum) and polycrystalline ceramic (Transcend) brackets in combination with 0.018-inch round and 0.019 x 0.025-inch Edgewise archwire sizes and stainless steel, nickel-titanium and beta-titanium archwire materials, under a constant ligature force were investigated. In all cases, artificial saliva had the effect of increasing the frictional force when compared with the dry state.
研究了在恒定结扎力下，人工唾液对不锈钢（登泰克）和多晶陶瓷（超越）托槽与0.018英寸圆形及0.019×0.025英寸方丝弓丝尺寸以及不锈钢、镍钛和β钛弓丝材料组合时的静摩擦力和动摩擦力的影响。在所有情况下，与干燥状态相比，人工唾液均有增加摩擦力的作用。
