Table 1.

Mean axial load to induce one millimeter of axial movement.

Direct Loading Indirect Loading
Wires 70.73 (+/- 0.80) 131.19 (+/- 3.96)

Half Pins 106.34 (+/- 2.78) 205.94 (+/- 5.60)

All values are in Newtons, and the standard deviations are given in brackets. The increased forces between wires and half-pins as well as between direct and indirect loading were significantly different (p < 0.05).
