Effect of In Vitro Aging of Resin Microinfiltrant Restoration Effect on Shear Bond Strength of Orthodontic Bracket Adhesive
Abstract
Objective: To determine the impact of resin infiltration subjected to in vitro conditions on the shear bond strength (SBS) and adhesive remnant index (ARI) scores of orthodontic bracket adhesive. Materials and Methods: One hundred and twenty bovine incisors were randomly divided into 4equal groups: control group (Group I), demineralized control group (Group II), ICON control group (Group III), and aged-ICON experimental group (Group IV). Artificial white spot lesions were created in groups II, III, and IV. Micro-invasive resin was utilized in group III, immediately before bracket bonding, and group IV, aging of the resin was conducted prior to bracket bonding. All samples were subjected to thermocycling after bracket bonding and prior to SBS and ARI testing and evaluation.
