چکیده

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES A new flash-free adhesive promises to eliminate the need to clean up excess adhesive upon orthodontic bracket bonding. This study evaluated this new adhesive with regard to microleakage at the enamel-bracket interface, amount of adhesive remaining on the tooth after bracket debonding, time required for adhesive remnant cleanup, and clinical practitioners' preference in comparison to a conventional adhesive. MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 184 bovine incisors were bonded with ceramic brackets using either the flash-free adhesive (APC Flash-Free Adhesive Coated Appliance System, 3M Unitek [3M], Monrovia, California, USA) or a conventional adhesive (APCII Adhesive Coated Appliance System, 3M). Twenty-four of the teeth were scanned using microcomputed tomography to quantify microleakage into the adhesive layer. Twenty orthodontists debonded the brackets, removed the remaining adhesive, and then completed a survey regarding their preference for one of the two adhesives. The adhesive remnant was quantified and the time required for its removal recorded. Differences between the adhesives were tested for statistical significance. RESULTS For both adhesives, the microleakage was minimal with no significant differences between the two adhesives. The adhesive remnant was significantly larger for the flash-free adhesive, whereas there was no significant difference in adhesive cleanup time. Fourteen out of the 20 orthodontists preferred the flash-free adhesive over the conventional adhesive. LIMITATIONS In vitro testing cannot replicate the actual clinical situation during in vivo debonding. CONCLUSIONS With regard to bond quality and adhesive remnant cleanup, the new flash-free adhesive performs just as well as the conventional adhesive, and, of the two products, is the one preferred by most orthodontists.

Comparing the Effect of Assure Plus and Transbond XT Bonding on Shear Bond Strength and Adhesive Remnant Index in Metal Brackets Bonded to Enamel

Background and purpose: Bracket debonding is a major problem during orthodontic treatment. This research aimed at studying shear bond strength (SBS) and adhesive remnant index (ARI) in two bonding systems (Assure Plus (adhesion booster) and control). Materials and methods: In this vitro trial, premolars (n=90) were divided into two groups. The brackets were bonded either with Transbond XT or A...

Comparison between self-etching and conventional primers in repeated bracket bonding

Background and Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of repeated bonding by self-etching primers (SEPs) and a conventional phosphoric acid-etchant on shear bond strength (SBS), adhesive remnant index (ARI), and enamel morphology at different debonding time points. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 120 premolars were randomly divided into six groups of 20. In the first t...

Effect of Incorporation of Nano-Hydroxyapatite and Nano-Zinc Oxide in Resin Modified Glass Ionomer Cement on Metal Bracket Debonding

Background and Aim: Use of fluoride releasing materials to decrease the risk of demine-ralization around orthodontic brackets would be reasonable as an adhesive for bracket bonding only if they provide acceptable shear bond strength (SBS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the SBS of resin-modified glass ionomer cements (RMGICs) modified by nano-zinc oxide (NZnO) and nano- hydroxyapatite (N...
