Análise in vitro da Influência da Aplicação Tópica de Fluoreto nas Propriedades Mecânicas de uma Resina Ortodôntica sob Ciclagem de pH

The influence of protective varnish on the integrity of orthodontic cements

“…There are several studies in the literature relating materials and their adhesive capacity, particularly using composites and hybrid ionomers on shear bond tests, 14 in addition to those that emphasize bond strength and ts failures. 9,15,16 Other studies have correlated the fluoride-releasing ability of certain materials with their cariostatic effects. 3,9 However, no studies have been carried out on the need for isolating conventional glass-ionomer cements surfaces during cementation of orthodontic bands, even though this action is essential for the preservation and longevity of this type of cement in restorative Dentistry practice.…”
