Analysis of shear bond strength of brackets systems having different base technologies
Main Article Content
Abstract
The bond strength of orthodontic brackets is a critical factor in the success of orthodontic treatment. The present study compared shear bond strength of brackets systems having different base technologies. Materials & Methods: 50 extracted first maxillary premolars were divided into 2 groups of 25 teeth each. Group I had Master Series™ conventional twin photochemically etched 80-gauge mesh, and group II had Victory series™ conventional twin 80-gauge woven mesh bonding base. All teeth were bracketed using an acid-etch composite system, and the SBS measured using an instron universal testing machine. Results: The mean shear bond strength in group I was 8.32 MPa, and in group II was 9.46 MPa. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Victory series™ conventional twin 80-gauge woven mesh bonding base had the highest bond strength.
