An In Vitro Assessment of Wear Rate of Various Bite Turbo Materials

Abstract

Following analysis of volumetric loss at each timepoint, it was found that there was a significant difference in the rate of wear between each group. Triad Gel was the most susceptible to abrasive forces, followed by Transbond Plus Band Cement and, finally, UltraBand-Lok. This relationship was consistent between the progress and final timepoints. It was concluded that the wear rate of the three materials tested in this study differed significantly. The rate of wear was as follows: Ultra Band-Lok, Tranbond Plus Band Cement, and Triad Gel. It is important to note that a relatively rapid rate of wear is not indicative of an inferior product. Instead, this information can be used to select an appropriate material for a given clinical situation.
