Shear bond strength of orthodontic bracket bonded to buccal versus lingual surfaces
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
Objectives: The objective of this investigation was to assess shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets bonded to the buccal and lingual enamel using two orthodontic adhesives: resin-modified glass-ionomer and resin composite. Methods: Twenty buccal and twenty lingual human premolar enamel surfaces, allocated into four groups 10/each were used in this study. Metal brackets were bonded to each surface using resin-modified glass-ionomer or resin composite orthodontic adhesive, and excess was removed with a brush. Specimens were stored for 24 hours, subjected to thermocycling and shear bond strength was measured using a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. Remaining adhesives on enamel after bracket debonding was scored independently by two investigators who were not aware of the groups using modified adhesive remnant index (ARI). Results: Kruskal Wallis test indicated significant difference of shear bond strength between the four groups (P=0.007). Pair-wise comparisons using Mann-Whitney test showed that the only significant difference was between resin composite of buccal and resin-modified glass-ionomer of lingual surfaces (P=0.003) as well as between resin composite of lingual and resin-modified glass-ionomer of lingual surfaces (P=0.001). Most of the specimens of all groups, achieved ARI scores 4 and 5 with a very low frequency of ARI scores 2 and 3. Conclusions: This research shows that no significant differences in shear bond strength between buccal and lingual surfaces. Resin-modified glass-ionomer and resin composite adhesives exhibited sufficient shear bond strength for orthodontic use and no significant difference was found between the two adhesives.
