Accuracy of thermal microsensors embedded in orthodontic retainers of different material composition and thickness: An in vitro study
Abstract Objectives: The present research aimed to assess the accuracy and precision of the TheraMon® microsensor embedded in different thicknesses of Hawley retainers (HR) for comparison with vacuum formed retainers (VFR). Methods: Thirty microsensors contained within different thicknesses and composition of retainers were divided into three equal groups: Group A thick coverage HR (3 mm), Group B thin coverage HR (1 mm), and Group C VFR (1 mm). The microsensors were immersed in thermostatic water at a controlled temperature of 35°C, which corresponds to the average intra-oral temperature. After 1 week, data were gathered using the TheraMon® client software and analysed using ANOVA and Turkey’s HSD tests. Results: All TheraMon® microsensors were functional and produced uninterrupted recordings during the 1-week test period. Thermal detection differed between the three removable retainer groups. A near accurate thermostatic water detection was noticed with the thin HR with a mean temperature of 34.81 ± 0.04°C, followed by VFR 34.77 ± 0.09°C, and finally the thick HR 34.73 ± 0.05°C (ANOVA p-value = 0.025). A between-group comparison showed a significant mean difference (MD) between the thin and thick HR groups (MD: 0.08, p-value = 0.01). However, there were no significant differences between VFR and neither the thick Hawley (MD: 0.04, p-value = 0.27) nor the thin Hawley group (MD: -0.03, p-value = 0.39). Conclusion: A removable retainer’s variation in material thickness and composition could induce small but detectable changes in the precision of thermal detection by TheraMon® microsensors.
期刊介绍:
The Australasian Orthodontic Journal (AOJ) is the official scientific publication of the Australian Society of Orthodontists.
Previously titled the Australian Orthodontic Journal, the name of the publication was changed in 2017 to provide the region with additional representation because of a substantial increase in the number of submitted overseas'' manuscripts. The volume and issue numbers continue in sequence and only the ISSN numbers have been updated.
The AOJ publishes original research papers, clinical reports, book reviews, abstracts from other journals, and other material which is of interest to orthodontists and is in the interest of their continuing education. It is published twice a year in November and May.
The AOJ is indexed and abstracted by Science Citation Index Expanded (SciSearch) and Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition.
