Adequate removal of residual bonded materials from the enamel surface after orthodontic bracket debonding is critical, since any remaining composite may compromise enamel surface morphology and esthetics. The following clinical case reports present the association of at-home dental bleaching using 10% carbamide peroxide and the removal of residual bonded material using a super fine, tapered diamond bur followed by the use of an enamel microabrasion product after orthodontic bracket debonding. The proposed treatment considerably improved the esthetics and successfully removed the grooves created during the removal of the bonding composite, resulting in a smooth enamel surface.

Adult orthodontic consultations in private dental practice: How much information do patients remember when they leave the surgery?
J Orthod Sci
November 2024
College of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Ulster, Birmingham, United Kingdom.
Objective: With good communication and information retention being key aspects of valid consent, this study aimed to assess adult patient information recall immediately after an orthodontic consultation.
Materials And Methods: Adults interested in bracket-based or clear aligners were invited to take part at a single private dental practice. A 45-minute consultation with one of three general dental practitioners (GDPs) primarily providing orthodontics took place.
A novel stable biomimetic adhesive coating for functionalization of orthodontic brackets against bacterial colonization and white spot lesions.
BMC Oral Health
January 2025
Oral Technology, University Hospital Bonn, 53111, Bonn, Germany.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of polydopamine (PDA) functionalization on orthodontic brackets in inhibiting biofilm formation and promoting surface bioactivity to buffer the acidity of caries-causing bacteria around orthodontic brackets and prevent demineralization. The stability of the coating in artificial saliva (AS) and distilled water was evaluated, along with its effect on pH changes in simulated body fluid (SBF) and distilled water.
Methods: Maxillary incisor orthodontic brackets underwent PDA functionalization using a dopamine hydrochloride solution following a specific protocol.
Debonding Characteristic and Survival Probability of Adhesive Flash-Free Ceramic Orthodontic Brackets Following pH Cycling.
Eur J Dent
December 2024
Department of Dental Biomaterials, Faculty of Dentistry, Mansoura University, Mansoura City, Egypt.
Objectives: Orthodontic bracket bond failure is an obstacle in clinical orthodontics. This study investigated the influence of pH cycling on the shear bond strength (SBS), adhesive remnant index (ARI), and survival probability of adhesive-precoated flash-free ceramic brackets.
Materials And Methods: Forty mandibular premolars were randomly divided into two groups ( = 20): C: noncoated orthodontic brackets, and F: flash-free adhesive-precoated orthodontic brackets.

Department of Oral Biology, Faculty of Dentistry, Suez Canal University, Ismailia, Egypt.
Aim: To compare microleakage beneath ceramic and metal brackets prepared with either acid etching or laser conditioning.
Design: An in vitro study.
Setting: Department of Orthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Suez Canal University, Ismailia, Egypt.
Influence of orthodontic bracket block-out materials on superimposition errors when substituting scanned dental imaging data onto computed tomography images.
Imaging Sci Dent
December 2024
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, College of Dentistry, Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea.
Purpose: The study was performed to examine the error associated with image superimposition when computed tomography (CT) images of the dental region are substituted with dental scan data, according to the block-out material used in dental impressions.
Materials And Methods: A typodont model was created by bonding orthodontic brackets to teeth on plaster dental stones using melted dental base-plate wax. In the experiment, 2 groups were compared: one using wax and the other using putty as the block-out material to prevent tearing of the impression material during the acquisition of dental impressions.
