Abstract

The corrosion resistance of orthodontic wire made of NiCr alloy in artificial saliva, in the absence and presence of Metformin Hydrochloride- 250 mg (MFH) has been evaluated by polarization study and AC impedance spectra. Polarisation study reveals that in the presence of Metformin Hydrochloride- 250 mg (MFH), linear polarisation resistance (LPR) value increases and corrosion current decreases. That is, in presence of Metformin Hydrochloride250 mg (MFH), the corrosion resistance of NiCr alloy in artificial saliva increases. AC impedance study reveals that in the presence of Metformin Hydrochloride- 250 mg (MFH), Charge transfer resistance (Rt) value increases and double layer capacitance value (Cdl) decreases. That is in the presence of Metformin Hydrochloride- 250mg (MFH) the corrosion resistance of NiCr alloy in AS increases. It is concluded that people clipped with orthodontic wire made of NiCr alloy need not vacillate to take Metformin Hydrochloride- 250 mg (MFH) orally.
