(1) Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the demineralization around brackets bonded with different types adhesive agents in a cariogenic suspension environment. (2) Methods: In study, 60 extracted upper first premolar teeth were divided into three groups 20 each group. Group 1, Transbond XT Primer + Light Cure Adhesive (3M Unitek, Monrovia, CA, USA), 2, GC Ortho Connect (GC Crop, To...

Little is known about the performance of Transbond Plus Self-Etching Primer (TPSEP), especially when used with Adhesive Precoated Brackets (APC 1 and APC 2). The aim of this study was to compare the shear bond and rebond strengths and failure sites of APC 1 and APC 2 with a non-coated bracket system [Victory Series (V)] using Transbond XT light-cured adhesive and TPSEP or 37 percent phosphoric ...

Aim: The study aimed to evaluate enamel deproteinization with sodium hypochlorite in the conditioning using a self-etching primer for adhesion orthodontic brackets. Background: bonding orthodontics plays major role success of treatment. primers reduce chair time and diminish risk saliva contamination. Methods: sample comprised 80 bovines' incisors, divided into 4 groups according process adhesi...

INTRODUCTION This study was conducted to compare the effects of 6 self-etching primers (SEPs) on the shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets bonded with the same orthodontic composite resin. METHODS One hundred forty extracted premolars were randomly divided into 7 groups (20 per group). In group I (control), the enamel was etched with 37% phosphoric acid. In the other groups, it wa...

introduction: one of the clinical problems in orthodontics is the bonding of brackets tocomposite restorations. the aim of this study was to evaluate the shear bondstrength of brackets bonded to composite restorations using excite. methods:forty brackets were bonded to composite surfaces, which were embedded inacrylic resin. one of the following four protocols was employed for surfacepreparatio...

One of the solutions for the problem of white spot lesions has been the application of a polymer coating to the labial enamel surface. The aim of this study is to find out whether the liquid polish BisCover affects the bond strength of brackets bonded with a light-cured system (Transbond XT) and a no-mix system (Unite). Standard stainless steel premolar brackets were bonded to 100 permanent hum...

Introduction: Recent advances in the field of material sciences have opened up a new horizon of options for bonding agents that can be used efficiently in orthodontics. The purpose of this study was evaluate and compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of the traditionally used Transbond XT and a newer nano-filled material Prime and Bond NT. Materials and methods: Sixty freshly extracted maxillary...

The aim of this study was to examine the antibacterial effect of several current orthodontic materials against a certain oral bacterium. The antibacterial activities of six orthodontic composite resins (Transbond LR, Light Cure Retainer (LCR), Light Bond, System 1+, Kurasper F, Transbond XT adhesive), two orthodontic bonding materials (Transbond XT primer and System 1+ activator) and two glass ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the shear bond strength of metallic orthodontic brackets bonded with either Fuji Ortho or Ortho Glass LC resin-reinforced glass ionomer cements to enamel surfaces under different conditions, namely, enamel without etching, enamel conditioned with 37% phosphoric acid and enamel conditioned with Transbond Plus Self Etching Primer (TPSEP). MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred an...
