Evaluation of enamel surface changes by different enamel conditioners and de-bonding procedure using optical coherence tomography: An in-vitro qualitative study
Journal Title: IP Indian Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Research - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction The purpose of this study is to evaluate surface changes of enamel after using different enamel conditioning agents and bonding adhesives after debonding and cleanup of metal and ceramic brackets using optical coherence tomographyMethod Metal and ceramic brackets were bonded onto 120 premolars divided into 4 groups n30 which were debonded after 24 hours Enamel conditioners bonding agents and adhesive resins of four different brands were used in each group The images of enamel surface were captured with Optical Coherence Tomography OCT machine pretreatment T0 postetching T1 after bracket debonding T2 and postcleanup T3 A spectral domain optical coherence tomography system with 5m axial spatial resolution was used This was connected to a preconfigured computer system A total of 480 images were evaluated for enamel surface evaluationResults OCT images obtained allowed us to evaluate the enamel surface after acidetching and post debonding and cleanup procedures 2D OCT analysis allowed indepth analysis of enamel loss after various procedures OCT also assisted in locating remnant adhesive layer after cleanupConclusion OCT is a powerful clinical tool for the use in dentistry and can be used effectively to evaluate enamel surface loss after various proceduresKeywords Debonding Evaluation using Optical coherence tomography Evaluation of enamel surface changes Optical Coherence Tomography OCT
