Abstract

Objective: The aim of this paper was to determine the amount of deformation in four commercial brands of nickel-titanium closed springs. Methods: A total of 130 springs were divided into 13 subgroups, according to their features and manufacturers (Morelli, Orthometric, Ormco and GAC) and activated from 100% to 1000% of the effective length of the nickel-titanium portion present at the spring, at 37 °C. Deactivation data were plotted and deformation was found graphically. The values were compared by analysis of variance and Tukey's post-hoc test. Results: Springs manufactured by Morelli had the same amount of deformation when they were activated up to 700% of Y activation; springs by Orthometric had the same amount of deformation up to 600-700% of Y; springs by Ormco had the same amount of deformation up to 700-800% of Y; and finally, the majority of springs by GAC had similar deformation up to 800%-1000% of activation. All springs tested could be activated up to 700% without rupture. Conclusions: Most subgroups were similarly deformed up to 700% of activation, without rupture of springs. Subgroups 4B, 4C, 4D and 4E showed the same amount of deformation up to 1000% of activation without any rupture at all. RESUMO Objetivo: o objetivo desse trabalho foi determinar a deformação em molas fechadas de níquel-titânio de quatro marcas comerciais. Métodos: cento e trinta molas foram divididas em treze subgrupos, de acordo com suas características e fabricantes (Morelli, Orthometric, Ormco e GAC), com ativação entre 100% e 1.000% do comprimento efetivo de níquel-titânio presente na mola (Y), a 37 °C. Dados de desativação foram coletados e a deformação foi obtida de forma gráfica. Os valores foram comparados por meio de análise de variância e teste post-hoc de Tukey. Resultados: as molas da Morelli apresentaram a mesma quantidade de deformação considerando-se 700% de ativação de Y; as molas da Orthometric tiveram a mesma quantidade de deformação até 600-700% de Y; as molas da Ormco tiveram a mesma quantidade de deformação até 700-800% de Y; e, por fim, a maioria das molas da GAC apresentou deformação semelhante até 800-1.000% de ativação. Todas as molas testadas puderam ser ativadas até 700% sem ruptura. Conclusões: a maioria dos subgrupos se deformou de maneira semelhante até 700% de ativação, sem ruptura das molas. Os subgrupos 4B, 4C, 4D e 4E demonstraram a mesma quantidade de deformação até 1.000% de ativação, sem nenhuma ruptura.
