Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated two visual magnification methods (operating microscope and light head magnifying glass) for removing composite flash around orthodontic metal brackets.
- Half of the teeth were bonded with two different adhesives and divided into subgroups to test different removal methods (naked eye, light head magnifying glass, and operating microscope).
- Results showed that using the light head magnifying glass was generally more effective than other methods, but further research is needed to explore the benefits of the operating microscope and the effectiveness of Transbond Plus Color Change.
