Comparison Of The Frictional Force Between Single And Double Slot Conventional Bracket Double Wire Technique: An In- Vitro Study

Abstract Introduction:
Orthodontic treatments often face challenges due to friction between brackets and arch wires, impacting tooth movement and treatment outcomes. This study investigates the frictional forces between single slot and double slot brackets using the double wire technique with 0.016 x 0.022 Stainless Steel (SS) and 0.016 Niti wires, aiming to evaluate their efficacy and biomechanical advantages.

Methods:
A quasi-experimental design was employed. Thirty bracket-wire specimens were divided into two groups: single slot (Group A) and double slot brackets (Group B). Each bracket set was mounted on acrylic blocks and tested using a Universal Testing Machine (Instron 3366 series) to measure frictional forces. The data were analyzed for normality (Shapiro-Wilk test) and compared using independent t-tests.

Results:
The mean frictional force was 5.05 N for single slot brackets and 4.10 N for double slot brackets. The standard deviations were 1.37 N and 1.88 N, respectively. Statistical analysis indicated no significant difference in frictional forces between the two bracket systems (p = 0.128).

Discussion:
Both single and double slot brackets demonstrated comparable frictional forces, suggesting either can be effectively used in orthodontic treatments involving the double wire technique. Double slot brackets offer flexibility with two slot sizes but do not significantly outperform single slot brackets in frictional resistance.

Conclusion:
The study concludes that there is no significant difference in frictional resistance between single and double slot brackets. The choice of bracket system should be based on patient-specific treatment needs and clinician preferences. Further research is recommended to explore other biomechanical factors and treatment outcomes.
