Effects of Autoclave Sterilization on the Force Properties of an Eruption Spring

Abstract

Introduction: Nickel-titanium coil springs are efficient and effective at moving impacted maxillary canines into the arch due to their super elastic properties. Purpose: When exposing and bonding an impacted canine with a closed-flap technique, bacterial load should be minimized via sterilization to prevent infection. There is no current literature that demonstrates the effects of autoclave sterilization on the force properties of the Isoglide eruption spring.
