An in vitro shear bond strength study to evaluate the effect of adhesion boosters on rebonding using recycled brackets.

Abstract :

With great advantages like better aesthetics, good oral hygiene, minimum soft tissue irritation, no separators, no band space, attachment to partially erupted teeth, less decalcification, good caries detection etc. to its credit direct bonding to enamel began to see new horizons. Since inception bonding has undergone considerable improvement with time. Rapid strides in technology and material science coupled with endless search for the ultimate adhesive system have yielded a magnitude of adhesive that provide adequate bond strength. The sea of changes have ought us to the present century where we see thousands of chemical compounds with different chemistry and biology claiming excellent results.

Bond failures are a frequent clinical situation clinicians have to face. At points it results in poor results and huge emotional and financial trauma. Orthodontist have been trying to come over the situation by using better ackets and materials. With only one set of customized ackets in hand orthodontist resort to recycle the bonded ackets than to use new ones as it might cause heavy financial burden. Recycling invariably results in decreased bond strength due to contamination and loss of acket mesh.
