Key Points

The aim is to compare the frictional resistance of 3D-printed resin brackets with conventional metal and ceramic brackets.
Conducted in vitro tests to evaluate frictional resistance.
Compared three types of brackets: 3D-printed resin, metal, and ceramic.
Applied standardized conditions for testing to ensure consistency.
Identified differences in frictional resistance among the bracket types.
3D-printed resin brackets exhibited distinct resistance compared to conventional options.
Findings contribute to understanding bracket performance in orthodontics.

Implication

Comparison assesses frictional resistance in 3D-printed vs conventional brackets, suggesting implications for orthodontic practices.

Abstract

Purpose: This study attempted to compare frictional resistance among three-dimensional (3D) printed resin brackets, and also with conventional metal and ceramic brackets under in vitro conditions.
