Determ ination of optim um adhesive thickness using varying degrees of force application w ith lightcured adhesive and its effect on the shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets: An in vitro study

Mahesh Jain, MDS/Siddarth Shetty, MDS/Subraya Mogra, MDS/V. Surendra Shetty, MDS/Nidhi Dhakar DOI: 10.11607/ortho.919 Aim: The thickness of the adhesive layer under a bracket may be an important factor that affects the final tooth position and bond strength. With increasing use of preadjusted brackets, it is important to ensure that a consistently even layer of composite is placed under each bracket to take full advantage of bracket design and to avoid the need for compensatory bends to be placed in the archw ire. Therefore, the present study is aimed at determining the optimum adhesive thickness by varying the force of application and observing the effect on the shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets. Methods: Sixty premolars extracted for orthodontic purposes w ere divided into three groups of 20 samples each. Adhesive thickness w as measured by varying the force of application w hile bonding brackets w ith light-cured adhesive and tested on a universal testing machine to evaluate the shear bond strength. Results: The study show ed that adhesive thickness is inversely proportional to applied force. In addition, the shear bond strength has a tendency to increase w ith a decrease in adhesive thickness up to a certain extent and then decrease. Conclusion: Adhesive thickness betw een bracket base and tooth surface decreases w ith an increase in the amount of force application from 1 to 3 oz. Mean shear bond strength increases w hen adhesive thickness decreases from 0.99 to 0.83 mm, and then it has a tendency to decrease w hen adhesive thickness decreases to 0.72 mm. Optimum adhesive thickness should be considered to be 0.83 mm, w hich is the thickness required to achieve sufficient bond strength to prevent chances of bond failure.
