60
Q

2 properties NiTi archwir

A

shape memory Superelasticity

61
Q

The superelasticity of NiTi is based on what

A

phase transformation from austenitic to martensitic and back

62
Q

is thermoelasticity the same as superelasticity

A

No thermoelasticity is a phase change based on heating or cooling. Wire is heated, bent, and when cooled, it maintains that new bended form

63
Q

What is Superelasticity

A

Phase change due to the application of stress

64
Q

what is the stress applied to superelastic NiTi archwire

A

pushing the archwire into the bracket

65
Q

What phase is a NiTi straight out of the package, unstressed, in, austenitic or martensitic

A

Austenitic, stiff

66
Q

Stressing the NiTi into the bracket makes it more pliable, which is what phase, austenitic or martensitic

A

Martensitic, pliable

67
Q

How do the differences in stress work on a NiTi in ortho

A

as the tooth moves the stress on the NiTi lesses so it goes from martensitic(pliable) to Austenitic(stiff) until it is back to its original archform

68
Q

Wire resumes its original shape upon deflection ,low formability

A

Shape memory, NiTi has high shape memory

69
Q

Low stiffness means the wire is flexible or rigid

A

Flexible, NiTi is Highly flexible

70
Q

Revovery exhibited by wire upon its unloading/deactivation

A

Springback, NiTi has high springback

71
Q

Maximum deformation/deflection of an orthodontic wire w/in its elastic range

A

Range, NiTi has high range

72
Q

Is NiTi high or low friction and is this a disadvantage or advantage

A

High friction, it’s a disadvantage, can cause translation to go slower due to friction in bracket as tooth moves

73
Q

3 disadvantages of NiTi

A

High Friction, Can’t be soldered, Expensive

74
Q

NiTi is used in what phase of ortho treatment and why

A

Initial stage, deliver light continuous forces w/ large deflections

75
Q

Does Beta-Titanium wire have any Nickel in it

A

No

76
Q

Beta-Titanium arch wire composition

A

9% Titanium (Ti)
11% Molybdenium (Mo) 6% Zirconium (Zr)
4% Tin (Sn)

77
Q

How does Beta titanium relate to NiTi and Stainless

Steel

A

Stronger than NiTi but weaker than SS

78
Q

Force level of Beta-Titanium versus for Stainless Steel for same amount of deflection

A

BTi has 1⁄2 force level for deflection as Stainless Steel

79
Q

2 indications for using Beta-Titanium over Stainless Steel or NiTi

A

Pt has a Nickel Allergy
Pt requires force levels lower than SS but greater
than NiTi

80
Q

What are the Springback, Range, and Friction for BetaTitanium, High or Intermediate

A

Intermediate

81
Q

Can Beta-titanium be soldered or welded

A

Yes

82
Q

Considered the main arch wire in most orthodontic practices

A

Stainless Steel

83
Q

Stainless Steel composition

A

71% Iron (Fe)
18% Chromium (Cr)
8% Nickel (Ni) <0.2% Carbon ©

84
Q

When would use Stainless Stell

A

finishing

85
Q

3 reasons for Stainless Steel popularity

A

Good mechanical properties Corrosion Resistant

Low cost

86
Q

Because it is highly formable, what does that mean for Stainless Steel wire

A

bends will stay in the wire

87
Q

What is the Springback and Range of Stainless Steel, low, intermediate, or high

A

Low

88
Q

Initial Stage ortho main goal and wire of choice

A

Intraarch level and align, NiTi

89
Q

Initial stage goal stated differently

A

Take care of all rotations (1st order), intrusions and extrusions (2nd order) in the arch, not focused on spaces

90
Q

Intermediate stage focus

A

space closure

91
Q

What is required for space closure in Intermediate Stage

A

need greater control of tooth movement for interarch correction while providing intraarch stability

92
Q

Wire choice for intermediate stage

A

SS or BTi

93
Q

Finishing stage is called

A

Detailing

94
Q

Wire choice for finishing stage

A

SS or Bti

95
Q

If see a chain elastic, what is that used for and what can be assumed is the wire type it covers

A

used for space closure(intermediate stage), so must cover a SS or BTi

96
Q

Elastics do what

A

help w/ tooth movement

97
Q

Elastic types

A

Class I Class II

Class III Cross Elastics Box Elastics

98
Q

Elastics require what for patient success

A

Patient cooperation

99
Q

Elastic traction b/w teeth or groups of teeth of the same arch (e.g. during canine retraction using sliding mechanics)

A

Class I elastics

100
Q

Elastics extending from the anterior aspect of the maxillary arch to the posterior aspect of the mandibular arch

A

Class II elastics

101
Q

Class II elastics used for

A

Correct CII malocclusion Reduce overjet

Minimize anchorage loss during max incisor retraction by taking advantage of intermax anchorage

102
Q

If elastic goes from Max Canine to Mand Mol in Class II elastics, what will each tooth do

A

Max canine pulled distal and will partially extrude, Mand mol pulled mesial and partially extrude

103
Q
