Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / O uso de primers autocondicionantes e de bráquetes com compósito pré-incorporado tem sido apresentado como uma alternativa para a redução de passos clínicos. O propósito deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito de um primer autocondicionante (Transbond Plus Self-Etching Primer - SEP) na resistência ao cisalhamento de bráquetes com compósito pré-incorporado colados in vivo. A amostra consistiu de 92 dentes obtidos de 23 pacientes com indicação prévia de extração de 4 pré-molares. Os dentes foram divididos em 4 grupos, sendo os bráquetes colados pelo mesmo operador, alternando os quadrantes em cada paciente: Grupo 1 (controle) - Ácido fosfórico à 37% + primer (Transbond XT Primer) + compósito (Transbond XT Adhesive Paste) + bráquete convencional; Grupo 2 - Ácido fosfórico à 37% + primer + bráquete com compósito pré-incorporado; Grupo 3 SEP + compósito + bráquete convencional; Grupo 4 - SEP + bráquete com compósito pré-incorporado. Após 30 dias os pré-molares foram extraídos, sendo submetidos ao teste de resistência ao cisalhamento através da uma Máquina de Ensaios Universal, com velocidade de 0,5mm/min. Os dados obtidos pelos grupos foram analisados com 2-way ANOVA (p<0,05). As forças médias e desvios padrão obtidos foram os seguintes: Grupo 1 = 11,35 (2,36) MPa; Grupo 2 = 9,77 (2,49) MPa; Grupo 3 = 10,89 (2,60) MPa; e Grupo 4 = 10,16 (2,75) MPa. Não foi observada diferença significativa entre o uso do SEP e o de condicionador e primer tradicionais (p = 0,948). De qualquer modo, diferenças significativas na força de adesão foram observadas quando utilizados bráquetes com compósito pré-incorporado (p = 0,032). Pode ser concluído que a combinação do primer autocondicionante com o bráquete com compósito pré-incorporado apresentou valores de força de adesão adequados, sendo promissora para uso clínico. / The use of self-etching primers and precoated brackets are presented as alternatives to shorten the clinical bonding steps. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of a self-etching primer - SEP (Transbond Plus SEP, 3M Unitek) on shear bond strength of adhesive uncoated and precoated Victory brackets (3M Unitek). The sample group consisted of 23 patients with 4 premolars each one, equally divided in four different groups according to the bracket and enamel preparation. Brackets were bonded in vivo, by the same operator, using a split mouth random technique: Group 1- 37% Phosphoric acid + primer + composite + conventional Victory bracket; Group 2- 37% Phosphoric acid + primer + precoated Victory bracket; Group 3- SEP + composite + conventional bracket; Group 4- SEP + precoated bracket. After 30 days premolars were extracted for orthodontic reasons, and a Universal Testing Machine was used to apply an occlusal shear force directly to the enamel-bracket interface at a speed of 0.5 mm/min. Mean results and standard deviation for the groups were: Group 1 = 11,35 (2,36) MPa; Group 2 = 9,77 (2,49) MPa; Group 3 = 10,89 (2,60) MPa; e Group 4 = 10,16 (2,75) MPa. The groups were compared using 2-way ANOVA. No difference was observed while a conventional etching and primer or self-etching primer was used (p = 0.948). But, it was indicated significant differences in bond strength between uncoated and precoated brackets (p = 0.032). However, it could be concluded that the self etching primer combined with adhesive precoated brackets showed adequate shear bond strength, and may be suitable for clinical use.
