Materials and methods The Waterlase iPlus (made in the USA in 2012), comprising an Er,
Cr: YSGG laser, was used. Based on the surface treatment of brackets, two groups were …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the Yd: YAG laser
irradiation on orthodontic bracket base surface. Shear bond strength (SBS) values and sites …

This study was conducted to examine the bond strength of rebonded orthodontic brackets
after adhesive residuals on the surface of the bracket bases were removed by Er, Cr: YSGG …

Objectives: Providing reliable attachment between bracket base and zirconia surface is a
prerequisite for exertion of orthodontic force. The purpose of the present study was to …

Background Failure of orthodontic bracket bonds is a common occurrence during
orthodontic treatment. This study investigated the impact of Er: YAG laser-based removal of …

Objectives: To evaluate and compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of Erbium laser etched
enamel to acid etched and to detect morphological changes on laser etched enamel surface …

Several techniques have been proposed to obtain a durable bond, and the efficacy of these
techniques is assessed by measuring parameters such as bond strength. Laser has …

Objective. The aim of this study was to compare the recycling of deboned ceramic brackets
via an Er: YAG laser or via the traditional chairside processing methods of flaming and …

Aim of the study The aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of Er, Cr: YSGG laser
therapy as a method for recycling debonded stainless steel orthodontic brackets. Materials …

Objectives Conventional methods for orthodontic metal brackets debonding produce forces
that are high enough to cause enamel scratches, fracture, and patient's discomfort. The aim …
