The evaluation of a resin-modified glass ionome cement for bonding orthodontic brackets

Abstract

To evaluate the shear bond strength(SBS) and bond failure interface after the debonding of orthodontic brackets with a resin-modified glass ionomer cement(RMGIC) under six bonding conditions, 140 premolar teeth were randomly divided into seven groups. The brackets of all groups, except for control group, were bonded using a RMGIC. The teeth were debonded using a universal testing machine. The shear bond strength, adhesive remnant index (ARI) and enamel fracture were examined for each debonding. A significant difference existed in SBS under wet and dry conditions in two groups of Fuji Ortho LC. Different degree of enamel fracture was seen in groups of Fuji Ortho LC(dry/37% phosphoric acid treated) after debonding. Bond failed predominantly at the enamel-adhesive interface, except for phosphoric acid treated groups. The RMGIC achieve a clinically effective adhesion in orthodontics under different bonding conditions.
