Effect of torque customization with composite resin bases on the shear bond strength and adhesive remnant patterns of lingual brackets : An in vitro evaluation.
J Orofac Orthop
December 2024
Division of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, Department of Dentistry, Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, 605006, Puducherry, India.
Purpose: This study evaluated the effect of torque customization of lingual brackets with resin-modified bases on their shear bond strength (SBS), adhesive remnant index (ARI), and bond failure patterns (BFP).
Methods: The sample comprised 200 lingual lower incisor brackets (DTC® ORG, DTC Medical Apparatus, Hangzhou, China); 40 brackets were tested as-received and 4 groups with 40 brackets each were customized for -10, -20, +10 and +20° torque respectively with light-cured composite resin (Transbond XT™, 3M Unitek, Monrovia, CA, USA) bases. All brackets were bonded to bovine mandibular incisors.

Introduction: Smile evaluation and designing are important; recent emphasis on the soft tissues has been on par with that on the hard tissues in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. This importance has not yet gained proper attention, and smile analysis is often ignored in clinical examinations. We attempted a comprehensive evaluation of smile characteristics with the following aims: (1) evaluation of perception differences, if any, between dental specialists and laypersons; and (2) quantification of smile characteristics with the smile arc, buccal corridor measurements, and a modified smile index (MSI).
