The present laboratory study aimed to assess shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic metal brackets bonded to different ceramic and polymer-based restorations after artificial aging. Eighty metal brackets were bonded using Transbond-X to eighty disks which were fabricated using five different ceramic and polymer-based materials (n = 16): group LD: lithium disilicate ceramic, group LS: zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate ceramic, group PI: polymer-infiltrated ceramic, group FC: feldspathic ceramic, and group PM: Polymethyl methacrylate PMMA. Bonded specimens were stored in distilled water (37 °C) for 24 h before they underwent 37,500 thermal cycles between 5 °C and 55 °C. After storage, the SBS was performed using a universal testing machine. Then, the data was analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey’s test (α = 0.05). A 2-dimensional topographic analysis of the specimens was performed using atomic force microscopy. The Adhesive Remaining Index (ARI) was also evaluated at 50x magnification. A significant difference was observed between SBS means in the different groups’ materials (P < 0.05). The outcomes of the LD and LS groups were similar (17.55± 0.63 MPa and 18.26±0.33 MPa) but different from those of the PM, PI, and FC groups (15.23±0.29 MPa, 14.22 ±0.56 MPa, and 12.68 ±0.86 MPa). For FC group, however, it provided statistically significantly lower SBS than the other groups. There was predominance of score 3 for ARI in all groups. The type of dental substrate has a significant influence to the shear bond strength of the metal brackets.

The objective of this in vitro study was to assess and compare the shear bond strength of conventional and modified orthodontic tubes bonded to the surface of dry and saliva-contaminated enamel. The sample consisted of 40 human teeth, which were randomly divided into four groups according to attachment base and presence or absence of saliva contamination as follows: Group CB, conventional orthodontic tubes without salivary contamination; Group CB-S, conventional orthodontic tubes with salivary contamination; Groups BM, orthodontic tubes modified by welding a metal mesh to their base without salivary contamination; and Group BM-S, modified orthodontic tubes with salivary contamination. Shear bond strength test was performed in a universal testing machine and analysis of the adhesive remnant index (ARI) by optical microscopy. Two-way ANOVA was used, followed by Tukey’s test at a statistical significance level of 5%. The ARI results were analysed descriptively. There was statistically significant difference between the groups regarding the shear bond strength values, with conventional tubes presenting significantly higher values (P < 0.05). In addition, the presence of salivary contamination interfered negatively with the behaviour of conventional tubes only (P < 0.05). Shear bond strength was not improved by increasing the area of the orthodontic tubes. Moreover, salivary contamination influenced negatively the SBS values, but only when conventional tubes were used.

Context: As lingual bonded retainers are required for long-term retention in the oral cavity, the wire-composite combination of choice may be the determining factor for the success of lingual bonded retainers. Aim: We compared the shear bond strength of different wire-composite combinations used for lingual bonded retainers and identified the combination of choice for lingual retention in terms of the shear bond strength. Materials and Methods: A total of 108 extracted human maxillary premolars in pairs were divided into 6 groups of 9 samples each. Three different types of retainer wires (namely, Respond [Ormco Corp., Orange, CA, USA], Leone Ligature Wire [Leone S.p.a., Firenze, Italy], and SRW™ Stranded Retention Wire [Ortho Classic Inc., USA]) were bonded to the teeth with the composites (G-aenial™ Universal Flo and Tetric N-Flow). The shear bond strength was measured on debonding using universal testing machine INSTRON. Results: The maximum shear bond strength (58.28 N) was observed in group IV (Respond wire with Tetric N-Flow), whereas the minimum (25.28 N) was observed in group VI (SRW™ Stranded Retention Wire with Tetric N-Flow). A highly significant difference was observed when the shear bond strength of group IV was compared with all the other groups. Conclusions: The maximum shear bond strength was observed in the wire-composite combination of Respond dead-soft wire with Tetric N-Flow composite. Therefore, it could be the wire-composite combination of choice for bonded lingual retainer.

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of brackets after pre-treatment with different fluoride solutions. This study used 48 freshly extracted sound bovine incisors that were randomly assigned to 4 experimental groups (n=12). CG: (control) without treatment; NF: 4 min application of neutral fluoride; APF: application of 1.23% acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) for 4 min; and SFV: application of 5% sodium fluoride varnish for 6 h. For each group, after surface treatment, prophylaxis of enamel and bracket bonding with Transbond XT composite resin (3M) were performed following the manufacturer's specifications. The shear bond strength was performed with a universal testing machine 24 h after fixing the brackets. The tooth surfaces were analyzed to verify the adhesive remnant index (ARI). Data were analyzed statistically by ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=0.05). There was statistically significant difference among the groups (p<0.0001). CG and NF groups presented significantly higher bond strength than APF and SFV. There was no significant difference between CG and NF or between APF and SFV (p>0.05). The analysis of ARI scores revealed that most failures occurred at the enamel-resin interface. It may be concluded that the pre-treatment of enamel with 1.23% APF and 5% SFV prior to fixing orthodontic brackets reduces shear bond strength values.

Objective: the purpose of the study was to evaluate the micro-shear bond strength of different cements to translucent zirconia before and after thermocycling aging. Material and methods: Twelve translucent zirconia ceramic discs were used in the study. Specimens were sandblasted using 50 ‎μm aluminum oxide (Al2O3) particles. The specimens were divided into three groups (n = 4) according to the cement type: Panavia resin cement (control group), resin modified glass ionomer (RMGI), and Activa bioactive cement. Each group was further sub-divided into two equal subgroups (n = 2) according to whether the specimens were subjected to thermocycling or not. Thermocycling was performed in distilled water at 5000 cycles between 5 oC - 55 oC. The micro-shear bond strength test (μSBS) was measured using universal testing machine. Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare between the three cements. Dunn’s test was used for pair-wise comparisons when Kruskal-Wallis test is significant. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare between micro-shear bond strength before and after thermocycling P ≤ 0.05. Results: In non-aged subgroups, there was no significant difference between Panavia and Activa; both showed significantly the highest mean μSBS values (22.9 MPa, 31.3 MPa respectively). While, RMGI showed the lowest μSBS values (4.7 MPa).  In thermocycled subgroups, Panavia showed significantly the highest mean μSBS values (32.2 MPa). There was no significant difference between RMGI and Activa; both showed the lowest significant mean μSBS values (3.2 MPa and 8.7 MPa respectively). Conclusions: RMGI and Activa couldn’t be considered long-term reliable materials for cementing zirconia. However, Panavia provided the most durable bond to zirconia.KEYWORDSBioactive cement; Micro-shear bond strength; Resin cement; Translucent zirconia.

In this experimental study, the effects of Er,Cr:YSGG laser on the shear bond strength (SBS) of brackets bonded to two ceramic surfaces (Feldspathic and IPS Empress II) were compared to hydrofluoric (HF) acid etching. 60 ceramic discs were prepared, including two groups: Feldspathic and IPS Empress II surfaces. In each group, the following subgroups were prepared: 2W Er,Cr:YSGG laser, 2.5W Er,Cr:YSGG laser, and HF acid-etching. Ceramic primer and adhesive resin composite were applied and then light-cured to bond the ceramic cylinders to brackets. The samples were stored in distilled water for 24h and then, thermocycled. SBS testing was performed with a universal testing machine. Two-way ANOVA was used to compare SBS among subgroups (P<0.05). The highest SBS was seen in feldspathic surfaces with HF preparation (14.61±3.11MPa). There was a significant difference in SBS between different surface treatments except between the laser groups of IPS Empress II. Also, feldspathic surfaces had significantly higher SBS than IPS Empress II in all groups except HF. Conventional surface treatment provides much stronger adhesion than laser regardless of the ceramic type. Er,Cr:YSGG laser is effective on the SBS of the feldspathic ceramics, but not in IPS Empress II ceramics. So, laser treatment can be recommended as a favorable setting for treating feldspathic surfaces.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the shear bond strength of lingual orthodontic brackets with resin or metal pads, the location of bond failure and the adhesive remnant index (ARI). Methods: A total of 40 extracted upper premolars were randomly divided into two groups of 20 each: bonding with brackets having (1) pads with extended resin directly on the lingual surface of teeth, and (2) pads with metal custom base on the lingual surface of teeth. The debonding force was measured with an Instron universal testing machine. A Student’s t-test was used to assess the difference between groups (α = 0.05). Results: The results showed a significant difference between the groups (p < 0.001). The shear bond strength of metal pads was significantly higher than resin pads. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this in vitro study, it was concluded that the bond strength of lingual brackets with metal pads was higher than that of brackets with composite resin pads, due to the metal part being a single unit and welded. The failure location in the region between the bracket and the resin pad affected a higher percentage of the resin pads than the metal pads.

Aim: This in vitro study was aimed to evaluate the effect of adding different concentrations of chitosan nanoparticles (NPs) and TiO2 NPs on the shear bond strength (SBS) of an orthodontic adhesive. Materials and Methods: In this in vitro study, 72 extracted human premolars were embedded in an acrylic resin and randomly allocated into four groups of 18 specimens. In group 1 (control), brackets were bonded to the tooth with the Transbond XT orthodontic adhesive. In groups 2, 3, and 4, 0.5% chitosan NPs and 0.5% TiO2 NPs, 1% chitosan NPs and 1% TiO2 NPs, and 1.5% chitosan NPs and 1.5% TiO2 NPs were added to Transbond XT, respectively. Then, the brackets were bonded by the modified adhesive. The SBS and adhesive remnant index (ARI) of each group were assessed with a universal testing machine. The SBS test results were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance followed by the posthoc Tukey’s honestly significant difference (HSD) test. The Kruskal–Wallis test was also applied to evaluate the ARI scores. Results: The results showed no statistically significant difference between groups 1, 2, and 3, but SBS decreased significantly in group 4. With increasing the concentration of NPs up to 1% chitosan NPs and 1% TiO2 NPs, SBS did not change significantly. However, in 1.5% chitosan NPs and 1.5% TiO2 NPs, SBS decreased compared to the other three groups. No significant differences were found between the groups in terms of ARI scores. Conclusion: It is concluded that the orthodontic composite containing 1% chitosan NPs and 1% TiO2 NPs has adequate SBS for use in the clinical setting.

Introduction: Bond strength is an important property and determines the amount of force delivered and treatment duration in orthodontics. Many light-cured bonding materials are being used; but it is required to determine the most efficient one withdesired bond strength. Objective: To determine and compare the shear bond strength of three visible light-cured composites (Transbond XT, Heliositand Enlight) and two self-cured composites (Rely-a-bond and Concise). Materials & Method: 100 extracted premolars were collected and randomly divided into 5 test groups of different adhesives. Brackets were bonded to the teeth in each test group with the respective adhesive according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Each specimen was debonded using Universal Testing Machine and the shear bond strength for each specimen was calculated. All the groups were compared by ANOVA one-way test. Results: There were statistically significant differences among the five groups (P<0.05). The shear bond strength of Enlight (13.92 ± 3.92) is similar to Transbond XT (14.30 ± 4.35). Conclusion: Light cure composites showed higher bond strength than self cure composites.

Aim. This study aimed to assess shear bond strength (SBS) of resin cement to zirconia ceramic with different surface treatments by using Single Bond Universal. Methods. In this in vitro study, 50 zirconia discs (2 × 6 mm) were divided into 5 groups of (I) sandblasting with silica-coated alumina (CoJet)  + silane + Single Bond 2, (II) sandblasting with CoJet + Single Bond Universal, (III) sandblasting with alumina + Single Bond Universal, (IV) sandblasting with alumina + Z-Prime Plus, and (V) Single Bond Universal with no surface treatment. Resin cement was applied in plastic tubes (3 × 5 mm2), and after 10,000 thermal cycles, the SBS was measured by a universal testing machine. The mode of failure was determined under a stereomicroscope at × 40 magnification. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. Results. The maximum (6.56 ± 4.29 MPa) and minimum (1.94 ± 1.96 MPa) SBS values were noted in groups III and I, respectively. Group III had the highest frequency of mixed failure (60%). Group V had the maximum frequency of adhesive failure (100%). Conclusion. Single Bond Universal + sandblasting with alumina or silica-coated alumina particles is an acceptable method to provide a strong SBS between resin cement and zirconia.
