Study of the success rate in bonding attachments with two different composites
1La Sarrazine, Le Guéret, 69210 Lentilly, France
Introduction:
The choice of composite type is an important factor and can affect the success of treatment. The aim of this study was to compare the failure rate of two light-curing composites and to evaluate the effectiveness of each in vivo. The two composites studied were Transbond XT® (3M®) and BracePaste® (American Orthodontics®).
Material And Method:
An analytical, experimental, longitudinal and prospective study was conducted. A sample of 22 patients with a total of 440 teeth was selected. The decemented brackets were considered from the central incisor to the second premolar. A software was used to randomly distribute the type of adhesive according to the right and left side of the patient. Thus, Transbond XT® was used in two quadrants and BracePaste® in the other two. Braces that were not decemented after six mounths were considered successful.
Results:
Four failures with BracePaste® and three with Transbond XT were observed. These are respectivly 18.2% vs 13.6% among the 22 patients and 0.9% vs 0.7% among the 440 teeth (p>0.05).
Discussion:
Many studies have tested the efficacy of adhesives in vitro and many have failed to predict in vivo efficacy. Therefore, the aim of our study was interesting.
Conclusions:
In our sample, no difference in bonding failure was observed between Transbond XT® and BracePaste®.

Atoms participate in a chemical bond formation to acquire a completed valence-shell electron configuration similar to that of the noble gas nearest to it in atomic number. Ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds are some of the important types of chemical bonds. Bond energy and bond length determine the strength of a chemical bond.
Types of Chemical Bonds
An ionic bond is formed due to electrostatic attraction between cations and anions. Often, the ions are formed by the transfer of electrons...
