Evaluation of fluoride varnish and its comparison with pumice prophylaxis using self-etching primer in orthodontic bonding--an in vivo study.

Importance of Pumice Prophylaxis for Orthodontic Bonding with Self-etch Primer: An in vivo Study

Microleakage under Orthodontic Metal Brackets Bonded with Three Different Bonding Techniques with/without Thermocycling

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the microleakage of beneath the orthodontic brackets bonded with 3 different bonding techniques and evaluate the effect of thermocycling. Methods: One hundred and twenty premolars were randomly divided into 6 groups, received the following treatment: group 1: 37% phosphoric acid gel+Unite primer+Unite adhesive, group 2: 37% phosphoric acid gel+...

Effect of Saliva Contamination and sequencing time of curing the Transbond™ Plus Self Etching Primer on the Shear Bond Strength of Orthodontic Brackets

Abstract Background and aim: Over the years, improvments have been done to simplify clinical bonding procedure. One of these material is Transbond™ Plus Self Etching. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of saliva contamination and reusing Transbond™ Plus Self Etching Primer (SEP) on shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets. Materials and Methods: Fifty premolars divided into fiv...

Effect of Pretreatment with Fluoride, Chlorhexidine, and Mixed Fluoride-Chlorhexidine Gels on Shear Bond Strength of Orthodontic Brackets: An Ex-Vivo Study

Background and Aim: Orthodontic patients are at an increased risk of caries due to difficulty in plaque control. Antimicrobial agents, such as fluoride and chlorhexidine, can be useful in preventing tooth demineralization. The present study aimed to determine the effect of fluoride and chlorhexidine gels and their mixture on the shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets. Materials and ...
