Aim:
This study examined the bond strength associated with Denteshield® Primer as a replacement for a conventional, non-antimicrobial, orthodontic primer.
Materials/methods:
Sixty human premolar teeth were divided into three groups (
Results:
The mean shear bond strength (MPa) of the three groups was: Denteshield® (33.18 ± 13.56), Pro Seal® (23.68 ± 12.04) and Transbond XTTM primer (26.19 ± 9.44). There was no significant difference in the shear bond strength across all three groups (
Conclusion:
Based on the shear bond strengths obtained in this study and the previously reported values necessary for clinical use, all three primers appear adequate for clinical use. (Aust Orthod J 2022; 39: 49 - 54. DOI: 10.2478/aoj-2023-0009)
