Bond Strengths Of Three Orthodontic Adhesives For Direct And Indirect Bonding, Aaron Rondon
Bond Strengths Of Three Orthodontic Adhesives For Direct And Indirect Bonding, Aaron Rondon
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The technique of bonding orthodontic brackets utilizing a transfer tray, otherwise known as indirect bonding, is a dichotomous subject. It allows for more accurate bracket placement and reduced chair time for the patient and doctor, yet its technique sensitivity can yield bracket failures at the time of tray removal. With the recent development of 3M's Sondhi Rapid Set, an adhesive specifically designed for orthodontic bonding, the purpose of this study was to compare this fairly new indirect adhesive with 3M's Transbond XT and Reliance's Rely-A-Bond.
Two hundred and seventy freshly extracted bovine teeth were mounted in acrylic resin and divided …
Properties Of Experimentally Modified Orthodontic Adhesives: A Pilot Study, Adam Gary Lautt
Properties Of Experimentally Modified Orthodontic Adhesives: A Pilot Study, Adam Gary Lautt
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Bonded orthodontic brackets were introduced in the early 1960's and, since then, spontaneous debonding has been a constant nemesis. Consequently, many studies involving bond strength have been performed targeting brackets, adhesives, curing methods and types of teeth. The purpose of this study was to compare the properties of adhesive resins that have been experimentally modified in both the filler and the polymer.
Twenty different types of adhesives were prepared with variations in the ratios of the two different fillers (ground glass and Wollastinite fiber) and the polymer. System 1+ was used as a control since it was the original resin …
Patient Satisfaction And Effectiveness Of A New Resin Used To Bumper Orthodontic Brackets, Timothy B. Elison
Patient Satisfaction And Effectiveness Of A New Resin Used To Bumper Orthodontic Brackets, Timothy B. Elison

Fear of pain is a key factor in discouraging patients from seeking orthodontic treatment, with many patients discontinuing treatment due to pain experienced in the early stages of treatment. Patients often complain of traumatized lips and buccal mucosa, which is usually caused by the brackets. Orthodontists try to minimize this pain and discomfort by using bumpering materials. Although wax is the most commonly used product, there are many bracket bumpering materials available.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and patient comfort/satisfaction of a new flowable resin, Ortho Shield, designed to protect the lips and …
