Abstract:Improving the bonding ability of the attachment on fluorotic enamel has great potential in clinical application and alternative orthodontic treatment for patients with dental fluorosis. To investigate the effects of different combination of Er: YAG laser and acid etching, 20 healthy teeth and 90 dental fluorosis were randomly allocated to different groups and separately handled. We evaluated shear bonding strength of each group. The changes of enamel structure and fracture mode of attachments were observed by … Show more
