Evaluation of wear amounts of different composite resin attachments used in clear aligner treatment over a 6-month period: a retrospective study

The wear of orthodontic attachments was greatly influenced by the type of composite resin. During the third and sixth months of the clinical period, G-ænial Universal Injectable resin demonstrated significantly greater surface wear than other resins. After 6 months, Tokuyama Estelite Universal Flow displayed the least surface wear.

Abstract

The wear of orthodontic attachments was greatly influenced by the type of composite resin. During the third and sixth months of the clinical period, G-ænial Universal Injectable resin demonstrated significantly greater surface wear than other resins. After 6 months, Tokuyama Estelite Universal Flow displayed the least surface wear.
