OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare bond failure and breakage rates of two
types of bonded lingual orthodontic retainers (GFR and. 0175” multistranded stainless steel …

Background: Bonded lingual retainers have become increasingly popular, but there is little
information on their long-term reliability. Objectives: The aims of this retrospective study …

The objective of this study was to compare glass fibre reinforced (GFR) with multistranded
bonded orthodontic retainers in terms of success rate and periodontal implications. A 2 year …

Background Long-term retention with fixed retainers with a high success rate seems to be a
reasonable solution to minimize or prohibit relapse of orthodontic treatment. Methods Two …

Background The long-term evidence regarding failures of fixed retainers is limited and the
aim of this cohort study was to assess the long-term risk of failure of one type of maxillary …

Background Retention is an important aspect of orthodontic treatment. This study aimed to
analyze the survival of three types of maxillary and mandibular bonded orthodontic …

Objectives To systematically assess the scientific literature for the prevalence of failure rate
of fixed orthodontic bonded retainer (FOBR). Method Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and …

Background The aim of this prospective clinical study was to compare the mean durability
and the failure rates of two types of orthodontic retainers. Methods Orthodontic patients (142) …

Objective Traditional retainers (both metal and fiber-reinforced composite [FRC]) have
limitations, and a retainer made from more flexible ligature wires might be advantageous …

Introduction This clinical study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of innovative fiber-
reinforced-thermoplastic (FRP) bonded orthodontic retainers. Methods Anterior lingual …
