Abstract
Objective 1) To evaluate the force at which the retaining clips/slides of self-ligating brackets break 2) to compare the active self-ligation system and the passive self-ligation system in terms of clip/slide failure.
Material and Methods: Two test designs were conducted: the Non-Typodont test design evaluated the breaking force of In-Ovation R clips and Damon 2 slides in 12 specimens of each; the Typodont test design evaluated the clip breaking force of 12 brackets of In-Qvation R. A Mann-Whitney statistical analysis was used to analyze the data.
