Abstract
Debonded brackets are a fact of life in clinical orthodontic practices. The problem is compounded because research has shown that rebonded brackets have significantly lower shear bond strength. The authors of this in-vitro study investigated the effect of 2 enamel surface treatments on the bond strength of metallic brackets in the rebonding process. The sample included 50 healthy maxillary first premolars extracted for orthodontic purposes. Brackets were initially bonded to the teeth and then debonded, removing any visible residual bonding material.
