The setup includes various techniques applied for testing metal alloy materials. The materials were tested under extreme conditions to simulate their behavior in the mouth. The alloy composition of each wire was tested. The electrochemical (EC) testing and characterization of the corrosion performance of the wires was calculated by the electrochemical curves at pH = 1 in two different applied potentials to test the reaction of the material. The liquid collected after the EC measurements was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to verify the reliability of the EC curves and for a more accurate evaluation of the corrosion behavior of the wires. Therefore, the EC measurements were compared to the actual values obtained from the released ions found in the solution. At the end, a surface analysis was performed to detect corrosion on the wires. In conclusion, this study developed a setup to test and better understand the corrosion behavior and ion release of the orthodontic wires, metal alloy dental materials, and other metals used in the oral cavity. This method can contribute to dental material selection in patients with underlying health conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma14133758","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,5]],"date-time":"2021-07-05T22:02:04Z","timestamp":1625522524000},"page":"3758","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A New Setup for Simulating the Corrosion Behavior of Orthodontic Wires"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Polydefkis","family":"Papaioannou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics, Dentofacial Orthopedics, and Pedodontics, Charit\u00e9 Center for Oral Health Sciences, Charit\u00e9\u2013Universit\u00e4tsmedizin Berlin, Corporate Member of Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin, Humboldt-Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin, and the Berlin Institute of Health, Assmannshauser Str. 4\u20136, 19147 Berlin, Germany"},{"name":"Department of Prosthodontics, Geriatric Dentistry and Craniomandibular Disorders, Charit\u00e9 Center for Oral Health Sciences, Dental Materials and Biomaterial Research, Charit\u00e9 \u2013 Universit\u00e4tsmedizin Berlin, Corporate Member of Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin, Humboldt-Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin, and the Berlin Institute of HealthA\u00dfmannshauser Str. 4\u20136, 14197 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mona","family":"S\u00fctel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthodontics, Geriatric Dentistry and Craniomandibular Disorders, Charit\u00e9 Center for Oral Health Sciences, Dental Materials and Biomaterial Research, Charit\u00e9 \u2013 Universit\u00e4tsmedizin Berlin, Corporate Member of Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin, Humboldt-Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin, and the Berlin Institute of HealthA\u00dfmannshauser Str. 4\u20136, 14197 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katrin","family":"H\u00fcsker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Immunology, IMD Institute of Medical Diagnostics Berlin-Potsdam GbR, 12247 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wolf-Dieter","family":"M\u00fcller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthodontics, Geriatric Dentistry and Craniomandibular Disorders, Charit\u00e9 Center for Oral Health Sciences, Dental Materials and Biomaterial Research, Charit\u00e9 \u2013 Universit\u00e4tsmedizin Berlin, Corporate Member of Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin, Humboldt-Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin, and the Berlin Institute of HealthA\u00dfmannshauser Str. 4\u20136, 14197 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8478-2078","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Theodosia","family":"Bartzela","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics, Dentofacial Orthopedics, and Pedodontics, Charit\u00e9 Center for Oral Health Sciences, Charit\u00e9\u2013Universit\u00e4tsmedizin Berlin, Corporate Member of Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin, Humboldt-Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin, and the Berlin Institute of Health, Assmannshauser Str. 4\u20136, 19147 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"182","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00323264","article-title":"A simple method for local resolved electrochemical surface characterisation","volume":"349","author":"Ibendorf","year":"1994","journal-title":"Fresenius J.
