Shear Bond Strengths of Orthodontic Auxiliaries Bonded to Clear Thermoplastic Aligner Materials Using Three Adhesive Systems
Abstract
This study compares the shear bond strength (SBS) of the adhesive/clear thermoplastic aligner (CTA) interface, using three bonding systems and three CTA materials. Methods: Tested the SBS of 90 metal buttons bonded to the CTA materials (Clear Splint Biocryl, Essix ACE(registered trademark), Tru-Tain(trademark) DX30) using different bonding systems (Bond Aligner(trademark), Triad Gel(registered trademark), Biocryl Ice Acrylic Resin). Results: The two-way ANOVA found the type of bond agent used was significant (p<0.01), while CTA material (p=0.453) and interactions (p=0.397) were not significant. Tukeys HSD found that Bond Aligner(trademark) had significantly higher SBS than Triad(registered trademark) Gel and Biocryl Ice (p<0.001). Triad(registered) Gel had significantly higher SBS than Biocryl Ice and lower SBS than Bond Aligner(trademark) (p<0.001). The Tukeys HSD test showed no significant difference in SBS with respect to the CTA material. Conclusion: There is greater SBS between the adhesive and CTA interface using Bond Aligner(trademark) compared to Triad Gel(registered trademark) and Biocryl Ice.
