Comparison of bond failure with resin-modified glass ionomer cement and visible light-cured composite bonding systems in orthodontic patients: A split-mouth randomized controlled trial.

Background: Resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) is considered a fluoride-releasing bonding agent.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the rate of bracket bond failure with light-cured composite (LCC) and RMGIC, and to evaluate factors that contribute to the rate of bracket failure with both bonding agents.

Material And Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted on a sample size of 33 patients.
