Abstract

Materials and methods

The sample consisted of 50 human premolar teeth collected and stored in formalin. Out of 50 samples, 38 were upper premolars and 12 were lower second premolars. The total sample divide into 10 each. Stainless steel contour bracket with bondable mesh measured about 3.42 mm in length and 3.31 mm in width. Each tooth sample was embedded in a cylindrical acrylic block of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMN). The buccal surfaces of all the samples were polished with fluoride-free pumice and rinsed thoroughly. Group 1 bonded with GC Fuji Ortho after getting etched with 37% phosphoric acid/60 seconds. Group 2 was contaminated with saliva. Group 3 was conditioned with Fuji dentin condition. Group 4 unetched, uncontaminated, and Group 5 was treated with rely bond composite resin after getting etched with 37% phosphoric acid. The shear bond strength was tested using Instron universal testing machine. The force at which bond failed was recorded on XY recorder as shear/peel bond strength of the material used for bonding. The reading obtained were statistically analyzed.

Result

Rely bond showed highest bond strength of 64.70 N (Newtons). The next highest value was that of Group 1. The lowest bond strength in the Group 4.

Conclusion

GC Fuji Ortho can be used as a bonding agent on etched enamel. Unetched, uncontaminated enamel surfaces were inadequate for bracket bonding.

Clinical significance

Potential benefits of glass ionomer cements can be utilized in orthodontic bonding.
