Introduction: Does the new adhesive-coated APC™ Flash-Free bracket from the 3M Unitek group simplify the bonding protocol without compromising precision?
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the morphology of the adhesive joint between the classic APC™ PLUS adhesive-coated brackets and APC™ Flash-Free brackets.
Materials And Methods: In vitro bonding of esthetic brackets in the CLARITY™ ADVANCED range was performed to compare the morphology of the excess flash between APC™ PLUS and APC™ Flash-Free brackets.
Results: No statistically significant difference was found concerning the morphology of the excess flash between APC™ PLUS and APC™ Flash-Free brackets.
