| Abstract | ||
| Introduction: Band retention mainly depends on how bands are positioned on the teeth and the properties of the cement used, whether chemically or light-cured. The strength of the bond between the band, cement, and enamel is essential for effectively transferring forces to the teeth. Dynamic intraoral stresses from mastication and occlusion can influence the bonding strength of bands. Aim of the study: Assessing the shear bond strength of light-cured, dual-cured, and chemically-cured cements in band cementation. Materials and methods: The teeth were randomly divided into three groups, each with 12 teeth, based on the tested materials: group (A)→BracePaste®, group (B) Breeze™ Resin Cement, and group (C) Fusion Self-Lute. Bonding of the brackets in each group was performed according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Shear bond strength (SBS) was measured using a universal test machine. Results: No significant difference in the SBS was found between Breeze dual-cure resin cement and Bracepaste light-cure resin cement. Statistically significant differences in the SBS were present between Breeze dual-cure resin cement and Fusion self-cure resin cement. Finally, a significant difference in the SBS was reported between Bracepaste light-cure resin cement and Fusion self-cure resin cement. Conclusion: It was concluded that Breeze dual-cured resin cement demonstrated the highest SBS when compared to BracePaste light-cured resin cement and Fusion chemical-cured resin cement. | ||
