Comparative evaluation and influence on shear bond strength of incorporating silver, zinc oxide, and titanium dioxide nanoparticles in orthodontic adhesive.

Objective: To investigate the influence of silver (Ag), zinc oxide (ZnO), and titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles on shear bond strength (SBS).

Materials And Methods: One hundred and twenty extracted premolars divided into four groups with thirty specimens in each group. Group 1 (control): brackets (American Orthodontics) were bonded with Transbond XT primer.
