1)

Two new methods of direct bonding lingual retainers.

No comparisons Just explains 2 methods of bonding. Both methods NOT NEW..!!

2)

The use of a neodymiumironboron magnet device for positioning a multistranded wire retainer in lingual retentiona pilot study in humans

Doesnt compare efficiency of bonding. Instead, the time taken for bonding is compared.

3)

Bond strengths of an antibacterial monomer-containing adhesive system applied with and without acid etching for lingual retainer bonding

With acid etching will obviously give better results. Study should have been done comparing the new system with the normally used one.

Microleakage between compositewire and compositeenamel interfaces of flexible spiral wire retainers. Part 2: comparison of amorphous calcium phosphate-containing adhesive with conventional lingual retainer composite

Tancan Uysal, Mustafa Ulker, Asli Baysal and Serdar Usumez

 The

aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that there is no difference in the microleakage values of a newly developed amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP)containing adhesive and a conventional lingual retainer composite at the composite enamel and compositewire interfaces of flexible spiral wire retainers (FSWRs).

Sixty freshly extracted human mandibular incisors separated into three equal groups were used in this study. Multi-stranded 0.0215 inch diameter wire was bonded to enamel using conventional orthodontic adhesive (Transbond LR, 3M Unitek) and ACP-containing composite (Aegis Ortho, Harry J. Bosworth Co.), with or without the use of a primer.

The specimens were sealed with nail varnish, stained with 0.5 per cent basic fuchsine for 24 hours, sectioned and examined under a stereomicroscope, and scored for microleakage at the composite enamel and compositewire interfaces from the mesial and distal margins. Statistical analyses were performed with KruskalWallis and MannWhitney U-tests with a Bonferroni correction

 The

amount of microleakage at the wire composite interface was higher than that at the enamelcomposite interface. The ACP-containing composite used with or without primer showed significantly higher leakage at the compositewire interface, while conventional lingual retainer composite showed lower microleakage scores.
