This pilot study was a two-factor, in-vitro pilot study comparing the clinical acceptability of orthodontic bracket placement between digital indirect and direct bonding techniques and between participants with three levels ...

Objective: This study evaluated the effect of primer protocol for metal orthodontic brackets bonded to zirconia ceramic and resulting shear bond strength (SBS), adhesive remnant index (ARI), and debonded and polished ...

This study examined the effect of varying delayed polymerization times in combination with bracket manipulation on shear bond strength (SBS), degree of conversion (DC), and adhesive remnant index (ARI) score when using a ...

Previous reports have shown diminished capacity for bonding after bleaching teeth. Reversal of the bond strengths back to pre-bleached levels can be obtained with application of 10% alpha-tocopherol in a 2-hour time ...
