Material and Method: One hundred and twenty molar teeth, previously extracted from patients with age between 12 and 30 years were selected. Orthodontic molar tubes were bonded on the vestibular surface of these teeth with one of two types of adhesive (Transbond XT or Orthobond). Each of these groups were subsequently divided in 4 other groups: control and with the use of a resin reinforcement on the occlusal surface of the bonded tubes with one of three materials (Transbond XT, Tetric N Flow, Z 350 Flow). Shear bond strength and adhesive remnant index tests were performed to evaluate the bond strength and type of fracture of the tubes bonded with the different methods. Results: Tubes bonded with Transbond XT had superior bond strength than tubes bonded with Orthobond. The use of resin reinforcement with Transbond XT increased significantly the shear bond strength of tubes bonded with Transbond XT. All groups presented in most of their samples less than 50% of adhesive remnant in the vestibular surface after de shear bond test. Conclusion: The use of a resin reinforcement with Transbond XT increased the shear bond strength of orthodontic tubes bonded with Transbond XT. / Objetivo: Avaliar a resistência de união de tubos ortodônticos colados em molares com diferentes protocolos de colagem. Material e Método: Foram selecionados 120 molares humanos com coroas hígidas, previamente extraídos de pacientes com idade entre 12 e 30 anos. Tubos ortodônticos foram colados na superfície vestibular destes dentes com um de dois tipos de resinas (Transbond XT ou Orthobond). Cada grupo colado com um dos materiais foi subsequentemente dividido em 4 grupos: controle e com aplicação de um reforço de resina na superfície oclusal dos tubos com um de três materiais (Transbond XT, Tetric N Flow, Z 350 Flow). Testes de cisalhamento e de remanescente adesivo foram executados para avaliar a resistência e tipo de fratura dos tubos submetidos aos diferentes protocolos de colagem. Resultados: Tubos colados com a resina Transbond XT apresentaram resistência superior aos tubos colados com resina Orthobond. O uso de reforço resinoso com a resina Transbond XT aumentou de maneira significativa a resistência dos tubos ortodônticos colados com resina Transbond XT. O uso de resinas do tipo flow como reforço resinoso não resultou em aumento significativo da resistência ao cisalhamento. Todos os grupos em sua maioria apresentaram menos de 50% de remanescente resinoso na superfície vestibular após a fratura. Conclusão: O uso de um reforço resinoso com resina Transbond XT aumenta a resistência ao cisalhamento de tubos ortodônticos colados com resina Transbond XT.

Introduction: Orthodontic treatment may cause an increased accumulation of cariogenic bacteria. An orthodontic resin with antibacterial properties may inhibit bacterial growth around the brackets. The aims of this in-vitro study were to compare the antibacterial and mechanical properties of the newly introduced orthodontic resin containing selenium with a standard resin and a resin modified glass ionomer (RMGI). Methods: Three orthodontic materials were tested (SeLECTDefense; TransbondXT, Fuji Ortho-LC). The antibacterial properties of these materials were evaluated by studying the bacterial growth in liquid media (BG) and agar diffusion (AD) tests. In the BG testing, 100 adhesive discs (3mmx2mm) were created of each material. Five discs were then placed into each vial containing 0.5ml of brain-heart-infusion broth and 2.5µl of streptococcus mutans (MS)(n=20). Following incubation (37°C, 24hours), the vials were placed in a Spectrophotomoter (Genesys 20) at 600 nm to determine bacterial growth by measuring the optical density (OD). In the AG testing, agar plates were inoculated with 100µl of MS in brain heart infusion agar. Fifteen adhesive discs (6mmx2mm) of each material were prepared and placed into groups of five on 3 agar plates. Following incubation (37°C, 48 hours), the agar plates were visually inspected for zones of bacterial inhibition. The mechanical properties were evaluated using shear bond strength testing (SBS) and an adhesive remnant index scoring (ARI). Sixty human premolars were randomly assorted into groups of 20 for each material (n=20). The brackets were bonded following the manufacturers' instructions. Debonding was performed using a universal testing device (Instron)(crossheadspeed 5mm/min). The mode of failure was evaluated using a stereomicroscope (OlympusSZX7) and scored 0-to-3 for remaining adhesive on enamel. Results were statistically analyzed using Welsch's ANOVA, One way ANOVA, Tukey's Kramer and Tukey's HSD tests. Results: In BG, the resin containing selenium (SD) promoted more bacterial growth (OD=0.427) compared to the standard resin (XT) (OD= 0.222) and RMGI (OD=0.275). In AD, no zones of inhibition were observed which means that no antibacterial agent was released from any of the orthodontic adhesives. In SBS, SD (11.63±2.07MPa) showed statistically lower bond strength than XT (15.16±4.68MPa) but both resins were in the clinically acceptable range. RMGI (6.03±3.95MPa) showed a statistically lower bond strength at a clinically unacceptable degree. Debonding was mostly at the bracket-adhesive interface for SD (ARI=2&3) meaning that most of the adhesive remained on the enamel. In XT and RMGI groups, debonding occurred mostly at the adhesive-enamel interfaces (ARI=0&1). Conclusion: Within the limitations of this in vitro study, the resin containing selenium did not show any favorable antibacterial properties in comparison to the other materials. None of the materials, including fluoride-releasing RMGI, caused bacterial inhibition in their surroundings. The resin containing selenium showed clinically acceptable but statistically lower bond strength as compared to standard resin but its mode of failure was more favorable because most of the adhesive remained on enamel.

Foram utilizados 60 incisivos inferiores bovinos recém-extraídos. Os bráquetes cerâmicos policristalinos (Allure®, InVu® e Clarity®) e metálico (Geneus®) foram colados utilizando-se o adesivo Transbond XT®. Para os resultados referentes ao cisalhamento, utilizou-se o teste de Kruskal-Wallis, com nível de significância de 5%. O teste de Mann-Whtiney foi utilizado para comparar os diferentes tipos de bráquetes aos pares, quanto aos índices de resina remanescentes. Para a análise dos resultados referentes às composições químicas do esmalte aplicou-se o teste de Brown-Forsythe com significância estatística ao nível de 5%. As comparações entre os grupos foram realizadas utilizando os testes Post Hoc de Games-Hoewell. Não foram observadas diferenças estatisticamente significativas, quanto as cargas de cisalhamento, durante a descolagem dos bráquetes. Em relação ao IRA, quando comparados aos pares, foi possível observar diferenças estatísticas entre os bráquetes Clarity® e InVu® (p = 0,002), Allure® e InVu® (p = 0,006) e, Clarity® e Geneus® (p = 0,0022). Foi confirmada a prevalência do escore “4”, com um percentual de 40,4%. Em relação à topografia superficial do esmalte, o Geneus® foi o único que não apresentou perda de tecido superficial. O Clarity® foi o mais afetado em relação à topografia superficial e ao desprendimento de partículas minerais do esmalte (íons Ca). O InVu® e o Clarity® apresentaram fraturas coesivas de 33,3% de suas amostras e o Allure® de 50%, sendo o que mais apresentou fraturas durante a remoção. / This study aimed at evaluating, in vitro, the shear bond strength shown by three different brands of polycrystalline ceramic orthodontic brackets and a brand of metallic orthodontic bracket, all with mechanical retention, by verifying the adhesive remnant index after trials, and to analyze, by means of scanning electronic microscopy, the superficial enamel topographies after debonding, detecting the release of mineral particles of enamel after bracket removal. Sixty recently extracted mandibular bovine incisors were used in this study. Polycrystalline ceramic brackets (Allure®, InVu®, and Clarity®), and metallic brackets (Geneus®) were bonded with Transbond XT®. For the results concerning the shear bond strength the KruskalWallis test was applied with a significance level of 5%. The Mann Whitney test was performed to compare the different types of brackets by pair, in relation to the adhesive remnant. For the analysis of the results concerning the chemical composition of the enamel the Brown-Forsythe test was applied with a significance level of 5%. Comparisons between the groups were analyzed using the GamesHowell Post Hoc test. No statistically significant differences were observed in relation to shear loads during bracket debonding. In relation to ARI, when the pairs are compared, it was possible to observe statistically significant differences between Clarity and InVu brackets (p = 0,002), Allure and InVu (p = 0.006), and Clarity and Geneus (p = 0.0022). The prevalence of score “4” was confirmed with a percentile of 40.4%. In relation to the superficial enamel topography, the Geneus® bracket was the only one which did not show loss of superficial tissue. Clarity® brackets was the most affected in relation to superficial topography and to the release of mineral particles of enamel (Ca ions). InVu® and Clarity® brackets showed cohesive fractures in 33.3% of their samples and the Allure® in 50%, the latter being the one that presented most fractures during removal.
