Wear Resistance Under High Load Forces of Four Different Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol Vacuum-Formed Orthodontic Retainers


Abstract:
The aim of our study was to determine the wear resistance of vacuum-formed retainers (VFRs) made out of polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG), from four different manufacturers (Essix, Leone, Erkodent, Bio-Art), under high load forces (600 N), for 10000 cycles. Forty thermoplastic sheets were divided in four groups, each group consisting of a set of ten sheets from each manufacturer, thermoformed on two matching study models with an ideal occlusion. The Instron 8874 equipment was used to simulate the accelerated wear of VFR surfaces. The surfaces of the VFRs were visually inspected using a KEYENCE VHX-600 digital microscope, but this proved difficult because of the surface shine. 3D models were generated using a GOM industrial laser surface scanner. Several wear areas were identified, having various degrees of roughness, with no evident tear points or perforations. One-way ANOVA analysis showed no statistically significant differences in net mass loss between the four groups.
