Abstract:
The purposes of this study were to evaluate applicability of resin modified glass ionomer cements and to determine the effect of salivary contamination on the tensile bond strength. Fourty extracted human permanent premolars were prepared for bonding and standard edgewise brackets were bonded with Ortho-One, Fuji Ortho LC, Vitremer and Advance. Fourty extracted human permanent premolars were contaminated with saliva, dried and bonded with same materials above. The tensile bond strength was tested by Instron testing device after storage in normal saline at 37degrees C for 24 hours from bonding. The results were as follow : 1. The tensile bond strength of Ortho-one group was 7.68 1.76, Advance group was 7.87 2.80, Fuji Ortho LC group was 4.99 +/-2.53, Vitremer group was 2.80 0.88 MPa. The tensile bond strength in contaminated condition of Ortho-One group was 4.12 1.67, Advance group was 5.37 0.68, Fuji Ortho LC group was 4.41 1.61, Vitremer group was 2.60 1.10 MPa.. 2. Salivary contamination did not affect the tensile bond strength when compared with the uncontaminated enamel group in Fuji Ortho LC and Vitremer (p>0.05) and there was great significant difference in the tensile bond strength of Ortho-One and Advance. 3. Advance, Ortho-One and Fuji Ortho LC seemed to have clinically a proper bond strength.
