Retención de plata en capas de óxido obtenidas por anodizado sobre alambres de nitinol para el desarrollo de capacidad antibacterial y resistencia a la corrosión

Abstract

Due to the difficulty that patients present for the correct oral hygiene when they have orthodontic appliances, such as wires, brackets, elastics, etc. It is necessary to develop new alternatives to combat the accumulation of bacterial plaque that is a predisposing factor for gingivitis, caries and periodontal disease among others. The progress in dental biomaterials facilitates research to address issues of this nature, where the commitment of the orthodontist today, should focus on developing better treatment alternatives for patients, reducing the presence of adverse events, in this research proposes a method to decrease the bacterial action and it is proposed to develop a coating by a technique called electrolytic oxidation by plasma (electrolytic oxidation PEO plasma) to Nitinol wires (NiTi).
