Objective: To evaluate the degree of conversion (DC), and orthodontic bracket shear bond strength (SBS) after the incorporation of 3 wt.% TiF4 into an orthodontic primer. Materials and Methods: According to the concentration of TiF4 within the orthodontic primer, there were two groups: the control (TF0C) and experimental groups (TF3C) (0&3 wt.% TiF4 respectively). The DC was evaluated for each group using FTIR. Ten orthodontic brackets were bonded using each concentration to the clean and etched enamel buccal surface. The SBS test was performed in an Instron universal testing machine, using a chisel positioned at the junction interface with a …

Objective: To evaluate the influence of adding different antibiotics to glass ionomer cement (GIC) on its surfaceroughness, water sorption, and solubility. Materials and Methods: A two-component GIC system (Fuji IX) andcommercially available antibiotic tablets including ciprofloxacin and amoxicillin /clavulanate were used. The two typesof powdered antibiotics were incorporated and stirred with the GIC powder at a ratio of 2 wt%. A total number of 120Specimens were prepared using a split Teflon mold and grouped as follows; group I: Conventional GIC as a controlgroup, group II: Ciprofloxacin-modified GIC, group III: (Amoxicillin/Clavulanate)-modified GIC, group IV: acombination of the two antibiotics-modified GIC.
