Abstract

Objectives :- To evaluate the shear bond strength of brackets bonded using a four different adhesives in both dry and in moist environment. Materials and Methods:- A total of 80 orthodontically extracted premolars will be selected. They are divided into 4 equal groups of different adhesives which are further sub-divided into 2 group each (dry and in presence of moisture). All the selected teeth will be cleaned and store in saline until it use. All teeth will be mounted on acrylic block. The shear bond strength will be measured by Lloyd’s Universal testing machine. The obtained data will be statistically evaluated using SPSS22 for Windows using ANOVA test at statistical significance. Result :- The shear bond strength of the four groups were tested with Instron universal testing machine; breaking load at which bond failure occurred was recorded and bond strength was calculated. Data obtained was compiled on MS Office Excel Sheet (2007, Microsoft Redmond Campus, Redmond. Washington, United States.)Data was subjected to statistical package for social sciences (SPSS v 21). Statistically significant difference seen between the hydrophobic and hydrophilic adhesives . In the present study we did Tukey’s post hoc test for pairwise comparison of different hydrophobic and hydrophilic adhesives. It show highly significant values. Conclusion :- The greatest bond strength values were achieved with TransbondXT in both dry and saliva contamination condition. These values were significantly greater than those achieved with Greengloo , RMGIC and Aqualine LC. The overall study conclude that TransbondXT was considered the feasible adhesive material for orthodontic bonding followed by Aqualine LC.
