Transparent orthodontic archwires: A systematic literature review

Mikulewicz M., Gronostajski Z., Wielgus A., Chojnacka K.

Vol. 17, no. 3

651--657

Objective: The objective was to perform a systematic literature review to report the state of the art on the topic of transparent orthodontic archwires. Methods: The inclusion criteria: (1) transparent or translucent orthodontic wire, (2) production method presented, (3) physical properties tested. The exclusion criteria: (1) coated esthetic archwires, (2) repetitive publications without language limitations. Databases searched: Medline (via PubMed), Scopus, Embase and Ovid (from 1970.01.01 to 2016.02.01). Additional hand search was performed. The manual search was performed in selected orthodontic journals: American Journal of Orthodontic and Orthopedics, Angle Orthodontist, European Journal of Orthodontics (from 1995 to 2016.02.01). Results: Among 342 papers, 22 were selected for systematic review and divided into two groups: those commercially available on the market and those in research and development stage. The drawbacks associated with mechanical properties limit their widespread clinical use. Conclusions: The papers reported different materials presenting different characteristics by various methodology. For this reason it was difficult to objectively compare obtained results. Characterization of translucent archwires properties has shown that further studies are required to confirm the usefulness of this type of wires, also in clinical practice.
