Objective > Due to their exceptional temperature sensitivity, the mechanical properties of Nickel-titanium and Copper Nickel-titanium wires may be influenced by their storage temperature. This in turn may have clinical implications and may also affect the outcomes. This study analyzed the influence of storage temperatures on the mechanical properties of orthodontic wires in a laboratory setting. Materials and methods > Stainless steel (SS), Nickel-Titanium (NiTi), and three variants of Copper-NiTi (Cu-NiTi 27 degrees C, 35 degrees C and 40 degrees C), 0.017 x 0.025 inches in size were analysed using a three-point bending test in a pre-heated chamber at 36 degrees C. The orthodontic wires were stored for twenty-four hours before the mechanical testing at four different temperatures (5 degrees, 22 degrees, 36 degrees and 60 degrees C). Results > The obtained results showed that the mechanical forces exerted by 27 degrees C Copper-NiTi exhibit the most stable behaviour after having been stored at different temperatures, whereas 35 degrees C Copper-NiTi showed the highest variability. As to be expected, Stainless steel shows no changes in its bending mechanical properties. Conclusion > Furthermore, the results of this investigation reflect the importance of controlling the storage temperature of orthodontic NiTi and Copper-NiTi wires tested in a research environment in order to avoid unexpected bias.
