In this study, a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a wire surface is proposed for suppressing such elution. This method involves modifying the stainless steel surface using phosphonic acid containing a long alkyl chain. The uncoated and coated wires are immersed in different acidic solutions, and the supernatant is analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry after 1-4 weeks. The results reveal that Cr and Ni ion elution is significantly suppressed by SAM modification. These findings will help in minimizing potential allergens from dental orthodontics., Coatings, 10(4), art.no.367; 2020}, title = {Self-Assembled Monolayer Formation on a Dental Orthodontic Stainless Steel Wire Surface to Suppress Metal Ion Elution}, volume = {10}, year = {2020} }
