Aim: This study aims to compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of different combinations of
retainer wires and enamel preparation methods. Methods: A total of 180 extracted …

Abstract Background and Objectives: This in vitro study was performed to assess the shear
bond strength (SBS) of three different fixed lingual retainers using two types of different …

Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of total surface sandblasting on the
shear bond strength of two different retainer wires. The null hypothesis was that there is no …

Objective We compared the shear bond strength (SBS) of lingual retainers bonded to bovine
enamel with three different resins using direct and indirect methods. Methods Both ends of …

Introduction: Lingual fixed retainers are one of the commonest retention appliances used
today. However, wires may debond or break causing relapse. Sandblasting was introduced …

Abstract Background and Objectives: Long term preservation of lingual retainer after active
orthodontic treatment is mandatory in oral cavity to prevent teeth relapse to its original place …

Introduction: We aimed to assess the impact of adhesive and wires types on the tensile bond
strength of fixed lingual retainers. Methods: A total of 160 intact bovine teeth were collected …

Objectives. This study aimed to assess the bond strength and deflection of four types of
bonded lingual retainers. Materials and Methods. In this in vitro, experimental study, 160 …

Introduction: Fixed lingual bonded retainers offer the comfort of aesthetics and reduced
tissue irritation after orthodontic treatment but are wrought with frequent bond failures …

The aim of the study was to examine, in vitro, the effect of a vertical force on the debond
force and deformation of two multi-stranded wires bonded to the lingual enamel of lower …
