The impact of different surface treatments on the shear bond strength of orthodontic metal brackets applied to different CAD/CAM composites
Background To investigate the shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic metal brackets applied to different CAD/CAM composites treated with different surface treatments. Material and Methods Specimens of two CAD/CAM composites were obtained of Lava Ultimate (LU; n=60) and Brilliant Crios (BC; n=60) which were randomly separated into six subgroups (n=10) according to the surface treatment: control (CTL); sandblasting (SB); sandblasting and silane (SBSL); hydrofluoric acid (HF); hydrofluoric acid and silane (HFSL); and Monobond Etch&Prime (MEP). The mandibular central incisor metal brackets were bonded with a light-cure adhesive. The SBS data were analyzed using the two-way analysis of varianc…

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-03-01 Background: this study aimed to evaluate the bond strength and internal adaptation of customized glass fiber posts using Bulk Fill flowable composite resins (BF) and conventional composite resin. Materials and Methods: Fifty bovine teeth were randomly divided (n=10) according to the following groups: G1 (control): glass fiber posts were adapted to the root canal and luted with Rely-X ARC cement (3M® ESPE); G2: fiber posts smaller than the root canal diameter were customized using Filtek™ Z350 XT (3M® ESPE) conventional composite resin, and luted similarly to Group 1. G3: posts were c…
