Definitions
- the present invention relates to a metal wire usable in particular in the medical sector and in particular in orthodontics, for correcting anomalies in the position of the teeth.
- the correction of anomalies in the position of the teeth is most often carried out by subjecting the tooth or teeth concerned to a force varying in intensity and in direction for a determined duration. These forces are transmitted to the teeth by means of an orthodontic wire, connected, by means of ligatures, to fasteners glued to the teeth concerned.
- the orthodontic wire must have high mechanical characteristics, and must in particular have:
- tooth movement is carried out by sliding the attachments on the orthodontic wire which serves as a guide. Friction forces play a role in all forms of sliding.
- the dental displacement along an orthodontic wire due to a sliding mechanism, consists of a succession of inclinations, then of rectifications by small increments.
- the movement therefore depends more on static friction than on kinetic friction.
- One of these categories relates to austenitic stainless steel wires, which have varying shades and heat treatments but which are all characterized by high tensile strength and yield stress, a high modulus of elasticity, a low coefficient of friction on the fasteners.
- Another category of wires is based on a nickel-titanium alloy, in which nickel stabilizes the phase ce of the titanium which can transform into martensite under the effect of mechanical or thermal stresses.
- this alloy With a composition of 52% nickel, 45% titanium and 3% cobalt, this alloy exhibits, after work hardening, rubbery properties. Its modulus of elasticity is very low, its tensile curve is very different from that of a conventional alloy, and the wire deforms elastically or breaks; therefore the possible types of curvature are limited and this alloy is only sold in the form of preformed orthodontic wires.
- a third category of wires concerns those made of a titanium-molybdenum alloy.
- Titanium-molybdenum was introduced into the orthodontic world by Burstone for the company Ormco, after being developed by the metallurgist Goldberg of the Institute of Materials Science in Connecticut in 1979. Its composition is as follows:
- Titanium has been used in metallurgy since 1952 and it was in 1960 that a particular form of high temperature titanium alloy was developed. In fact, titanium can crystallize according to two systems:
- the Young's modulus measured for titanium-molybdenum wires corresponds to half of that measured for stainless steel wires, however the elastic limit is approximately identical.
- the use of the titanium-molybdenum alloy to produce orthodontic wires has a certain number of advantages compared to the use of stainless steel.
- the intensities of the forces developed are lower than those developed by stainless steel, and titanium-molybdenum allows elastic deformation of greater amplitude. As a result, the force restored by the wire remains weaker, more constant and works longer.
- titanium-molybdenum wires can be bent over a distance twice as long, without permanent deformation. This allows a greater field of action, either in the initial alignment of the teeth, or for the wires used in the finishes. This results in a large amplitude elastic deformation, while developing moderate and more durable forces. Due to its low rigidity (stiffness coefficient of 0.42 compared to stainless steel), the titanium-molybdenum alloy can be used to make wires with large sections, at a much earlier stage of orthodontic treatment ; this allows a greater filling of the grooves of the fasteners, and therefore better three-dimensional control of the teeth carrying the fasteners.
- titanium-molybdenum can be welded to itself, by electrical welding, without adding metal. It has good resistance to corrosion and is bio-compatible.
- the wires made of titanium-molybdenum (beta-titanium) have a unique balance of low rigidity, high maximum flexion, certain malleability, making them particularly reliable in a large number of orthodontic treatment methods.
- titanium-molybdenum alloy gives rise to a certain number of drawbacks, the most important of which lies in the fact that it generates higher friction forces than stainless steel, which is a brake on dental displacement. in sliding mechanics, for example during canine retractions or space closings.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to fill this gap, by proposing a metal wire suitable for use in orthodontics, in association with fasteners glued to the teeth, to correct position anomalies of the latter, made of a material having high mechanical performance and a very low coefficient of friction on said fasteners.
- such a wire is characterized in that the material of which it is made is defined by a basic structure made of a titanium-molybdenum alloy which comprises, in its outer surface layer, titanium nitrides of TiN type, TiN, free of titanium oxide.
- Another object of the invention is also to propose a process for obtaining the material defined by a basic structure made of a titanium-molybdenum alloy comprising, in its outer surface layer, titanium nitrides of TiN, Ti 2 N type , free of titanium oxide.
- Such a method mainly consists in carrying out a treatment for implanting the surface of N + and N ++ ions in the outer surface layer of the titanium-molybdenum alloy, by operating in a vacuum enclosure, at a temperature below 450 ° C.
- This treatment makes it possible to preserve the mechanical properties of the conventional titanium-molybdenum alloy while considerably improving its coefficient of friction.
- titanium nitrides TiN and Ti 2 N. Because ion implantation is carried out in the absence of oxygen, the creation of titanium oxides is avoided which would degrade the coefficient of friction and limit nitriding.
- the treatment is carried out during two consecutive phases, first of all carrying out a depassivation and a rise in temperature by non-reactive cold plasma (introduction of a gas inert (such as for example argon) this for approximately 45 minutes, then by carrying out a nitriding obtained always by cold plasma with the introduction of a mixture of inert gas, for example argon, and nitrogen, for approximately 200 minutes .
- a gas inert such as for example argon
- the entire treatment is carried out at a temperature below 450 ° C.
- the proportions of argon and nitrogen used during the nitriding phase must be adapted to the volume of the enclosure but must be such that there is enough nitrogen for it is implanted and enough argon to dissociate the nitrogen.
- the present method provides, according to another characteristic, to complete the surface treatment as previously described by a slow cooling phase.
- such a treatment advantageously provides a wire in which, so to speak, all the mechanical characteristics inherent in the classic titanium-molybdenum alloy and which are considered to be the best in the current state of the art in orthodontics. , are kept.
- the material according to the present invention also makes it possible to appreciably improve the friction of the orthodontic wire on the fasteners to be equivalent to, or even greater than, that of stainless steel, considered by all users as the reference. in this area.
- the connections between the orthodontic wires and the fasteners are tested by a process with reciprocating movement, in which a fastener is glued to a metal pivot.
- the wire applied to this fastener is held in place by an elastomeric tie; the whole is lubricated by artificial saliva.
- the test machine alternately pulls the wire with a fixed stroke of 5 mm. This reciprocating movement is repeated more than 100 times per test.
- the average amplitude of the forces measured by the test machine, with each movement, characterizes, in a comparative way, the importance of the static friction between the wire and the fastener.
