Objective:
This study was to find out the most suitable concentration of added NaF to enough bonding strength of brackets.
Methods:
Sixty-four teeth were randomly divided into A, B, C and the control group. NaF of four different concentrations (1.23%, 2%, 3% and 0%) was added into 35% phosphoric acid. The four group teeth were etched with four kinds of fluoride etching fluid respectively and were bonded with brackets. Four specimens in each group were selected by turns after 1, 4, 12 and 24 weeks of bonding. The shear bond strength of the teeth were tested, and the adhesive residual index (ARI) of bonding interface were recorded.
Results:
The shear bond strength at four test time in each group was no significant (P > 0.05). There was statistical difference of the shear bond strength between four groups (P < 0.05), and group C was lower than the other groups. The ARI was no statistical difference between four groups.
Conclusion:
The effects of etching and bonding had no significant changes when the concentration of added NaF was no more than 2%. The shear bond strength decreased while the concentration of NaF was higher than 3%.

Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are halogen-substituted alkanes wherein one or more hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The carbon atom in an alkyl halide is bonded to the halogen atom, which is sp3-hybridized and exhibits a tetrahedral shape.
Unlike alkyl halides, compounds in which a halogen atom is bonded to an sp2 -hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) are called vinyl halides. Whereas aryl...
