Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the effects of different enamel conditioners in combination with an adhesive on the shear bond strength and the adhesive remnant index in vitro.Methods:One hundred and eight permanent healthy premolars from orthodontic patients and fresh saliva from a healthy young volunteer were collected.The teeth were cleaned,dried and etched by phosphoric acid,polyacrylic acid or Transbond plus SEP respectively(36 teeth for each agent).Then the teeth were bonded to brachet by RMGICs with the presence of water,saliva on the tooth surface or without any of them respectively(12 teeth in each group).After bonding,all samples were tested on a testing machine of Instron.Shear bond strength and adhesive remnant index were recorded.Results:Highest mean shear bond strength was observed in the group of teeth etched by Traspond plus SEP and bonded by RMGICs with the presence of saliva.Higher mean shear bond strength was obtained with the presence of saliva or water on the tooth surface than without any of them.Conclusion:Transbond plus SEP conditioning followed by RMGICs bonding may produce high shear bond strength between moistured tooth surface and brachet.
