Shear Bond Strength of Ceramic Brackets with Different Base Designs: Comparative In-vitro Study.

Introduction: Knowledge about the Shear Bond Strength (SBS) of ceramic brackets with different base design is essential as it affects bond strength to enamel.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the effect of base designs of different ceramic brackets on SBS, and to determine the fracture site after debonding.

Materials And Methods: Four groups of ceramic brackets and one group of metal brackets with different base designs were used.
