Impact of simulated gastric acid on the physical and mechanical properties of vacuum-formed retainers: an in vitro study

Abstract Background A decrease in oral pH levels may have detrimental effects on vacuum-formed retainers since an acidic oral environment could impact the mechanical and physical properties of these retainers. The present In vitro study aimed to evaluate the effect of simulated gastric acid at pH 4...
