title: [Effects of sterilization and disinfection on mechanical properties of Sentalloy springs].
abstract: The Authors evaluated mechanic characteristics of open and close titanium coils after two cycles of simulated usage. Coils undergone to thermic autoclaving didn't show any substantial variation in the forces offered compared to those only disinfected, authorizing reusage with igienic guarantees.
