Purpose Bracket debonding is an undesirable problem during fixed orthodontic treatment.
As ceramic brackets have no flexibility, there is no change in the slot dimension. So …

Purpose To investigate the reusability of ceramic brackets in terms of shear bond strength,
friction behavior, slot dimension, fracture strength, and color stability. Methods A total of 90 …

Background The aim of this study was to compare the effect of three recycling methods:
conventional aluminum oxide sandblasting combined with silane, tribochemical silica …

The objective of this study was to investigate the rebonding effect of a new silane coupling
agent on various ceramic brackets bonded to ceramic specimen. Different ceramic brackets …

Introduction and objective Sandblasting is an efficient and economic method of rebonding
brackets. Literature is divided regarding the Shear Bond Strength (SBS) associated with …

Objectives Decalcification during orthodontic treatment is significantly increased. To prevent
this negative impact, new treatments with sealants before bonding brackets are commonly …

The present study investigated the effects of a recycling technique on orthodontic ceramic
brackets by means of a scanning electron microscope analysis. The weight and dimension …

Background: Debonding of brackets commonly occurs during orthodontic treatment. Due to
increase in costs replacement of a damaged bracket is not liked by the dentist. This study is …

This article reviews some of the characteristics of ceramic brackets thatare of particular
interest to the clinician. Various factors that may significantly influence bond strength and …

Background This study aimed to assess bond strength of the resin/bracket interface, under in-
vitro shear stress, of metal brackets recycled by different clinical protocols. Methods Sixty …
