Effect of Papain gel on Orthodontic Bracket Bonding: A Comparative Study
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to verify the hypothesis that papain gel at concentrations of 8% and 10% prior to orthodontic bonding increases shear bond strength. Materials and Method: 30 pre-molar teeth extracted for orthodontic purpose were divided into three groups [n=10]. Group I acted as a control in which brackets were bonded with Trans bond XT [3M Unitek], group II and group III were treated with 8% and 10% papain gel respectively prior to bracket bonding with Trans bond XT. The bonded samples were then stored in artificial saliva for 24 hours at room temperature. Samples were subjected to mechanical testing in Universal Instrom Testing Machine. The values obtained were submitted to Analysis of Variance and post-hoc Tukey test. Results: Highest bond strength values were seen in group III in which 10% papain gel was applied before bonding; then followed by control group. Conclusion: It can be concluded that application of 10% papain gel can increases bond strength of brackets when compared to conventional bonding procedure with Trans bond XT.
