Summary

Chemically-curing Concise composite showed significantly less bracket loss than light-curing Heliosit in orthodontic bonding. Concise demonstrated more consistent performance across the dental arch compared to Heliosit.

Area of Science:

  • Orthodontics
  • Dental Materials Science

Background:

  • Orthodontic bracket bonding relies on composite adhesives.
  • Evaluating the clinical performance of different composite types is crucial for treatment success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the clinical usefulness of light-curing Heliosit and chemically-curing Concise composites for orthodontic bracket bonding.
  • To assess bracket loss frequency and tooth surface integrity with each composite type.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized clinical trial involving 37 patients undergoing full Edgewise (FE) appliance treatment.
  • Brackets were bonded with either Concise or Heliosit on contralateral sides of the dental arch.
  • Bracket loss frequency and scanning electron microscopy of the tooth/composite interface were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Significant differences in bracket loss were observed between Concise and Heliosit composites overall.
  • Heliosit showed higher bracket loss in posterior regions, while Concise had more uniform distribution.
  • Chemically-cured Concise demonstrated significantly lower overall bracket failure rates compared to light-cured Heliosit.

Conclusions:

  • Chemically-cured Concise composite is clinically superior to light-curing Heliosit for orthodontic bracket bonding due to lower failure rates.
  • The choice of composite material can influence bracket retention, particularly in different regions of the dental arch.
