Orthodontic Bracket Bonding Protocol

All specimens were covered with a nail varnish except the buccal surface which was left uncovered. Etching of enamel bonding sites with 37% phosphoric acid was performed for 15 seconds for all teeth, and then rinsed with air-water stream, followed by thorough drying. Transbond™ XT Primer (3M Unitek, USA) was applied to etched surfaces then gently dried for 5 seconds. A small amount of Transbond PLUS color change adhesive (3M Unitek, USA) was dispensed onto the base of orthodontic brackets (Unitek™ Gemini Metal Brackets, 3M Unitek, USA) which were placed on tooth surfaces and adjusted to final position. Brackets were then bonded to the designated area, and excess adhesive was removed carefully using scalpel under microscopic observation, and then, light was cured for 10 seconds mesially and 10 seconds distally.

The angle of the condylar process axis to the mandibular plane is called the Stutzman angle[6 (link)] [Figure 1].
The bite-jumping appliance used in this research is similar to that used in previous studies to improve rat mandibular incisors.[6 (link)11 (link)] Functional bite-jumping appliances were fitted to the mandibular incisors of rats in the experimental group and bonded to mandibular incisors with self-etching composite (Transbond Plus; 3M, Monrovia, CA, USA). This bite-jumping appliance produced 2.5-3 mm forward mandibular advancement in Group II [Figure 2].

Comparative Enamel Etching Techniques

Group I – Control Group: 60 teeth were etched with 37% phosphoric acid. Teeth were etched for 40 seconds, rinsed and air-dried. A thin layer of Transbond XT primer (3M Unitek) was applied to the enamel surface and light-cured for 10 s. Brackets were bonded onto the center of the buccal surface of teeth with Transbond XT (3M Unitek), a light-cured composite adhesive. Before curing, the excess resin material is removed with a sharp probe without disturbing the bracket position; the adhesive was light-cured for a total of 40 seconds, following the manufacturer's instruction.
Group – II – Experimental Group: 60 teeth were etched and primed by using self-etching primer that is Transbond Plus (3M Unitek), which contains both the acid and the primer and it is applied on the enamel surface of 60 teeth for 3 s and gently evaporated with air, according to the manufacturer's instructions. For activation, the two components are squeezed together, and the resulting mix is applied directly on the tooth surface. It contains a black (largest) reservoir were squeezed into white (middle) reservoir and then into purple (smallest) reservoir of the blister package using control pressure. The brackets were bonded using Transbond XT adhesive (3M Unitek) and light-cured for 40 s, in the same manner as in Group I.

We used stainless steel maxillary first premolar brackets of American Orthodontics MBT 0.022 slot, with a surface area of 12 mm. Three adhesives used in the study were: Transbond XT (3M Unitek, Monrovia, Calif), Transbond plus (SEP) (3M Unitek, Monrovia, Calif), and Admira (Voco, Cuxhaven, Germany).

Nano-Hydroxyapatite Reinforced Orthodontic Sealant

Orthodontic nHAp-SEP was developed using commercially supplied nHAp powder [Ca5(OH) (PO4)3] (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA) of particle size <200 nm. Three different concentrations of 5% wt, 7% wt, and 9% wt were prepared in weight: weight ratios by adding the nanoparticles to the plain SEP; and the precise weight of nHAp and SEP was confirmed using a four-digit weight balance (KERN and SOHN GmbH, Germany). The plain single-step SEP (Transbond™ plus,3M Unitek, USA) was used as a control (TSEP), whilst each experimental SEP was prepared by adding the nHAp to a glass container containing the plain SEP, then mixed in an electric shaker for 20 s until a white homogenous suspension was obtained. All the formulations were separately and freshly prepared before use in the subsequent bonding procedure in a UV light-protected environment. A flat-surface pH electrode (S450CD, Sensorex, USA) was used to evaluate the pH values of the TSEP and the prepared formulations.

Comparison of Bracket Bond Strength

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
This study was designed to compare the shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets bonded with conventional acid etching- priming and a self-etching primer. For this purpose, one hundred and twenty noncarious, not subjected to any pre-treatment chemical agents (e.g. hydrogen peroxide), no cracks caused by the presence of the extraction forceps, no caries and unrestored human maxillary First and second premolars, freshly extracted for orthodontic treatment were collected and stored in distilled water before bonding. Separate molds of cold-cure acrylic were prepared and the extracted premolar teeth were embedded in the cold cure acrylic up to the cement enamel junction.
In preparation for bonding, each tooth was cleaned and polished with, pumice paste applied with a rubber cup on a slow speed handpiece for 10 s, rinsed with water and dried with an oil and moisture free airstream.
Koden MIM orthodontic brackets were used in the study. The average bracket base surface area was determined to be 10.037 mm2. The SEP used in this study is Transbond Plus (3M Unitek). Samples were divided into two different groups each containing 60 maxillary left and right first and second premolar teeth.
Group – 1: Control Group – bonding with conventional acid etching – priming.
Group – 2: Experimental Group – bonding with self-etching primer (Transbond Plus).

Orthodontic Bracket Bonding Protocols

In Group 1, the teeth were treated directly with SEP (Transbond Plus, 3M Unitek, Minnesota, USA) and orthodontic premolar brackets (Master Series, American Orthodontics, Sheboygan, Wisconsin, USA) were coated with light cure orthodontic adhesive (Transbond XT, 3M Unitek, California, USA). The excess of adhesive was removed with explorer and light curing was done for 20 s using halogen curing light (Elipar 2500, 3M ESPE, Minnesota, USA). Group 2a, 2b, and 2c were first pre-etched etched with 37% orthophosphoric acid for 10, 30, and 60 s, respectively followed by the application of the SEP and bonding adhesive [Figure 1a-d

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
