background: laser ablation has been suggested as an alternative method to acid etching; however, previous studies have obtained contrasting results. the purpose of this study was to compare the shear bond strength (sbs) and fracture mode of orthodontic brackets that are bonded to enamel etched with acid and erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (er:yag) laser. materials and methods: in this expe...

Introduction: After completion of therapy with fixed orthodontic appliances, it is necessary to remove the brackets and remaining adhesive. The process removing adhesive can lead iatrogenic damage enamel surface. aim this research was make a visual assessment surface after application Enamel Surface Rating System Damage Index green stone for removal remnants, appliances. Material Method: Within...

Objective To evaluate shear bond strength (SBS) of Ormocer-bonded orthodontic brackets with self-etching primer (SEP) and conventional adhesive system and also to assess the amount of adhesive remaining on the tooth surface after debonding using adhesive remnant index (ARI). Materials and Methods The study was done on 90 extracted human upper first permanent maxillary premolars. The study sam...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare the shear bond strength and adhesive remnant index (ARI) at the enamel-bonding interface of precoated and conventionally bonded brackets, utilizing standardized procedures. METHODS The test sample consisted of 90 recently extracted bovine permanent mandibular incisors. The teeth were bonded using the same protocol and were tested in three di...

BACKGROUND Prompt-L-Pop is a sixth generation bonding system contains methacrylated phosphoric acid esters that combine an acidic component for etching the enamel and a primer, is an all-in-one adhesive. This study was undertaken to compare the bonding strength of brackets to enamel with traditional bonding technique and the new Prompt-L-Pop system using the same composite resin. MATERIALS AN...

INTRODUCTION At orthodontic treatment completion, knowledge about the effects of adhesive remnant removal on enamel is paramount. OBJECTIVE This study aimed at assessing the effect of different adhesive remnant removal methods on enamel topography (ESI) and surface roughness (Ra) after bracket debonding and polishing. METHODS A total of 50 human premolars were selected and divided into five...

A single step etch/primer that can be used for bonding orthodontic brackets with virtually any light polymerized resin-based composite bracket adhesive material that has been introduced. Clinical trials have shown it to be especially useful in re-bonding detached metallic or ceramic brackets, and for bonding brackets to fluorosed enamel. This technique report describes the PROMPT L-POP* system ...
