Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 27020 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 106, Dentistry, Subcommittee SC 1, Filling and
restorative materials.
ISO 27020:2010(E)
Introduction
This International Standard has been developed as a result of the difficulty often encountered by clinicians to
make meaningful comparisons between brackets and tubes using the information currently available from
manufacturers and suppliers.

This International Standard gives details of methods to compare the functional dimensions of orthodontic
brackets and tubes, the test methods by which they can be determined, as well as packaging and labelling
information.
This International Standard does not specify specific qualitative and quantitative requirements for freedom
from biological hazards; which are covered in ISO 10993-1 and ISO 7405.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 1942 and the following apply.
3.1
angle of torque
θ
occlusal-gingival angle formed between the intersection of the line perpendicular to the tangent to the tooth
side surface of the base and the line bisecting the slot in the occlusal-gingival direction, when viewed along
the mesial-distal long-axis of the slot
NOTE If the angle is oriented toward the occlusal (gingival), it is designated as positive (negative).
See Figure 1.
3.2
angulation
α
angle between the line perpendicular to the mesial-distal long-axis of the slot and the central occlusal-gingival
axis of the bracket/tube, when viewed from the buccal/labial
NOTE The angulation is positive (negative) when the gingival part of the central occlusal-gingival axis is inclined
toward the distal (mesial) relative to the line perpendicular to the mesial-distal long-axis of the slot.
See Figure 2.
ISO 27020:2010(E)
3.3
archwire
wire that is formed approximately to the shape of the dental arch

auxiliary slot
additional opening in the bracket or tube for insertion of auxiliary elements
3.5
auxiliary slot dimensions
diameter/cross-sectional dimensions of the largest wire that passes through an auxiliary slot
3.6
band
structural annular component affixed to the outer circumference of the crown of a tooth and to which a bracket
or tube can be attached
3.7
base
part of the bracket or the tube that is attached to the enamel or band
3.8
descriptor
code to identify the nominal slot height in thousandths of an inch without unit designation, in accordance with
accepted orthodontic practice (e.g. 18 or 22)

3.10 in-out
3.10.1
bracket in-out
l
i
distance between the floor of the slot and the tooth side surface of the base along the intersection of the plane
perpendicular to mesial-distal long-axis of the slot in the centre of the bracket slot and the plane bisecting the
slot in the occlusal-gingival direction, when viewed along the mesial-distal long-axis of the slot
See Figure 3 a).
3.10.2
tube in-out
l
i
distance between the floor of the slot and the tooth side surface of the base, at the mesial end of the tube and
in the midplane of the slot in the occlusal-gingival direction; for tubes with a mesial chamfer, the in-out is the
distance at the mesial end of the tube between that part of the floor of the slot in contact with the largest
dimension of an archwire (round wire for a round tube and a rectangular wire for a rectangular tube) able to
pass the entire tube, and the tooth side surface of the base in the midplane of the slot in the occlusal-gingival
direction, when viewed from the gingival

3.11
rotational offset
δ
angle between a line parallel to the floor of the slot and the line connecting the points of intersection of the
lines along the mesial and distal end-faces of the slot at the tooth side surface of the base, when viewed from
the occlusal
NOTE When the distal (mesial) part of the floor of the slot is furthest from the tooth it is known as a distal (mesial)
offset.
See Figure 4.
3.12
slot
mesial-distal oriented opening in a bracket or tube primarily to contain an archwire
3.13
slot depth
d

h
maximum occlusal-gingival dimension of a rectangle that is fully engaged in the slot, when viewed along the
mesial-distal long-axis of the slot
See Figure 5.
3.15
slot length
l
s
smallest mesial-distal dimension of the slot between the mesial and distal ends of the slot
4 Requirements
