Difference in force decay latex and non-latex elastic band based on duration of elastic use and salivary pH concentration: In vitro study

Abstract

There was a significant difference in force decay of elastic bands made from latex and non-latex based on duration of elastic use. Force decay of elastic bands made from non-latex was greater than latex material. There was a difference in force decay elastic bands made from latex and non-latex based on the pH concentration of saliva. Force decay elastic band made from non-latex is greater than latex material and greater at pH 5.2 compared to 6.7.
