Background Bracket failure increases the treatment time of orthodontic therapy and burdens
patients with unnecessary costs, increased chair time, and possible new appointments …

Objective This study aimed to evaluate the failure incidence of brackets with at least six
months follow-up between self-etch primer and conventional etch/primer, as well as to …

Introduction A new flash-free adhesive promises to eliminate the flash removal step in
bonding and to reduce bonding time by as much as 40% per bracket, with a bond failure rate …

Objectives: To compare bracket survival and adhesive removal time between a flash-free
and a conventional adhesive for orthodontic bracket bonding. Materials and Methods: Forty …

The aim of this study was to compare the clinical performance of a self-etching primer (SEP)
with a conventional two-step etch and primer [conventional method (CM)]. The chair time …

Objective: To compare the clinical performance of a self-etching primer (SEP) with a
conventional two-step etch and primer method (CM). Materials and Methods: Study subjects …

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to observe, with a scanning electron microscope,
the interface between enamel and orthodontic adhesive after focused ion-beam milling. In …

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate in vivo the bonding of metallic
orthodontic brackets with different adhesive systems. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twenty …

Materials and Methods: A total of 30 patients were randomly divided into two groups (Group
A and Group B). A split-mouth study design was used, for, both the groups so that they were …
