Evaluation of Enamel Loss with Polycrystalline Ceramic Bracket using two different Debonding Techniques

Abstract

Introduction: Debonding of ceramic brackets requires a technique that will restore the enamel surface possibly to its pretreatment condition.Objective: To evaluate a comparative degree of enamel loss with various debonding techniques.

In Vitro Comparison of Shear Bond Strength Between Clarity Bracket and Transcend Ceramic Bracket

“…2 Ceramic brackets bond strength should be brave enough to keep these attachments on teeth while whole of orthodontic treatment, but should not be strong enough to cause tooth enamel fracture while debonding. 3 Different debonding methods for ceramic brackets include fine pliers, electro thermal, ultrasonic and laser. 3 Mini metal brackets, lingual brackets, clear aligners, plastic and ceramic brackets were manufactured in an attempt to meet demand of orthodontic patients that are concerned with mini-aesthetics while orthodontic therapy.…”

“…3 Different debonding methods for ceramic brackets include fine pliers, electro thermal, ultrasonic and laser. 3 Mini metal brackets, lingual brackets, clear aligners, plastic and ceramic brackets were manufactured in an attempt to meet demand of orthodontic patients that are concerned with mini-aesthetics while orthodontic therapy. In 1970s, plastic brackets were introduced as an aesthetic alternative to metal brackets, but discontinued soon because of discoloration and mechanical weakness issues.…”
