pH Effects of Soda, Brew, and Citrus on Adhesive Bond Strength of Orthodontic Brackets to the Enamel. Scanning Electron Microscopy and Adhesive Remnant Index Analysis
Abstract:Aim: To assess the effects of milk tea, carbonated drink, orange juice, and artificial saliva on the shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets and assess their mode of failure under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Material and Methods: Eighty non-carious
extracted premolars were disinfected, etched, had primer applied and cured, and bracket bonded with light cure composite adhesive. These teeth were then immersed in separate media of milk tea, carbonated drink, orange juice, and artificial saliv… Show more
