Evaluation of bond strength of molar orthodontic tubes subjected to reinforcement with flowable and bonding resins.

Objective: The goal was to evaluate the adhesive shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic tubes bonded to molar teeth and reinforced with Transbond XT (3M Science, St. Paul, MN, USA) and flowable resin.

Materials And Methods: In all, 120 molar teeth, previously extracted from patients with a mean age of 30 were included.
