Summary
Indirect bonding offers more predictable and precise orthodontic bracket placement than direct bonding, minimizing errors. While it takes longer, this technique enhances treatment outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Orthodontics
- Dental Materials Science
Background:
- Accurate orthodontic bracket positioning is crucial for successful treatment outcomes.
- Direct and indirect bonding are established techniques for bracket placement.
Approach:
- A comprehensive literature search was performed across PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases.
- The search covered articles published between January 2013 and April 2023 using specific keywords related to orthodontic bracket bonding and placement.
- Eleven studies were included for qualitative analysis after rigorous screening.
Key Points:
- Indirect bonding demonstrates superior predictability and precision compared to direct bonding.
- Indirect bonding significantly reduces bracket placement errors.
- The indirect bonding procedure requires a longer chairside time than direct bonding.
Conclusions:
- Indirect bonding is a more accurate method for orthodontic bracket placement, leading to potentially better treatment results.
- Further research is necessary to compare direct, indirect, and emerging digital bonding techniques.

01:12Bonding and Strength of Aggregate
212
The bond between aggregate particles and the cement matrix is significantly influenced by the shape and surface texture of the aggregates. High-strength concretes benefit from a rougher texture, which leads to stronger bonding due to greater adhesion. Angular aggregates with larger surface areas also enhance this bond. The bonding quality, however, is complex to assess as no universally accepted test exists. Good bonding is indicated when a crushed concrete specimen shows some aggregate...

01:24ortho–para-Directing Deactivators: Halogens
5.6K
Halogens are ortho–para directors. They are more electronegative than carbon. Therefore, as ring substituents, they can withdraw electrons through the inductive effect and deactivate the aromatic ring towards electrophilic substitution. Halogens also have an electron-donating resonance effect on the ring, which influences the orientation of the incoming electrophile. If an electrophile attacks at the ortho or the para position, the halogen donates electrons and stabilizes the intermediate...

01:14Directing Effect of Substituents: ortho–para-Directing Groups
6.7K
Ortho–para directors are substituent groups attached to the benzene ring and direct the addition of an electrophile to the positions ortho or para to the substituent. All electron-donating groups are considered ortho–para directors. They donate electrons to the ring and make the ring more electron-rich. The ring is therefore susceptible to the addition of electrophiles. Substituents such as amino, hydroxy, or alkoxy, containing lone pairs on the atom adjacent to the ring, donate...
