An in vivo comparative analysis of bond survival rate between two different bonding techniques
Journal Title: Journal of Dental Specialities - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim The purpose of this study is to compare the survival rate of orthodontic brackets using two different bonding techniquesMaterials and Methods Twenty patients requiring fixed orthodontic treatment were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria after obtaining informed consentResult Twenty patients were selected with the mean age group of 175 5 years A total of 360 brackets were bonded 180 brackets in each bonding technique and were evaluated for survival rate for six months The direct bonded bracket failure was only 6 out of 180 sample size and for the indirect bonded group was 8 out of 180 The total breakages were 14 including both the groups The direct bonding group had 956 of survival rate which was lower when compared to 967 that of direct bonding group The two bonding groups did not significantly differ in the survival rate In the posterior region most of the breakages were observed 12 nos ARI score 1 and 2 was found to be more prevalent in the direct bonding technique whereas in the indirect bonding brackets ARI score was found to be equally distributed amongst the group However there was no significant difference in the ARI scores between the two bonding groupsConclusion The overall bond failure rate was minimal irrespective of the type of technique used to bond the brackets Bond failure occurred at the bracketadhesive interface There was no statistical difference in the ARI scores between the two groupsKeywords Orthodontic brackets Direct bonding Indirect bonding Bond failure
