Abstract:

This study evaluated the shear bond strength (SBS) of a traditional orthodontic bracket bonding agent and newly developed two different self-adhering materials. Sixty premolar teeth and sixty brackets were used for SBS test. Five groups were organized. TransbondXT (TXT) Maxcem Elite (ME) without etching; ME with etching; Vertise Flow (VF) without etching and VF with etching were used to attach the brackets and SBS test was applied. The outcomes (MPa) were as follows in five groups respectively; 9.86±3.20, 4.67±2.94, 7.82±2.56, 2.55±0.77 and 7.89±1.17. SBS values of the new agents were significantly lower than the traditional one (p<0.05). But no significant difference was found between TXT and new groups that were etched (p>0.05).The ARI scores �??0�?� and �??1�?� was noticed in group 2 and 4 which consist of non-etched ME and VF. The results revealed that new self-etching and self-adhesive bonding systems require additional phosphoric acid application to achieve traditional SBS values.
