Shear Bond Strengths of 3 Commonly Used Orthodontic Adhesives
Author(s): Samaneh Shams, Stefan Abela*, Manoharan Andiappan, Alireza Hajiheshmati and Dirk Bister
Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the Shear Bond Strengths (SBS) of three types of orthodontic adhesives and to compare the Adhesive Remnant Index (ARI) after debonding. Materials and Methods: One hundred and seventy-four upper central incisors were extracted and randomly divided to 6 groups (n=29) based on the type of adhesive and two-time intervals post bonding (30 minutes (T1) and 24 hours (T2)): 1) Transbond XT™ 2) BracePaste®, 3) GoTo™. Stainless steel orthodontic brackets were bonded to the teeth. Debonding was completed by an instron machine and shear bond strength recorded together with the ARI following examination under stereo optical microscope with magnification of 10x. Normal distribution was tested using histograms, box plots, the Shapiro-Wilks test and the Kolmogor.. View more»
