Abstract
Objective
This study aimed to compare the shear bond strength (SBS), adhesive remnant index (ARI), and degree of conversion (DC) of four different orthodontic adhesives.
Material and methods
Sixty maxillary first premolars were randomly divided into four groups (n = 15) according to the type of adhesive used: group I, Grengloo™ (GG), group II, Trulock® (TL), group III, CuRAY-Eclipse® (EC), and group IV, Master-Dent® (MD). The SBS was tested using a universal testing machine, and the ARI scores were evaluated by using a stereomicroscope. For assessing the DC, 5 cured and 5 uncured specimens were prepared for each group. FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) spectrometer was used to evaluate the DC for each composite. The SBS data were analysed by the Welch one-way ANOVA test, followed by Games-Howell post hoc test. ARI index scores were analysed by the Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by Dunn's post hoc test. The DC data were analysed by using the one-way ANOVA test, followed by Tukey's post hoc test. The significance level was set at P < 0.05 within all tests.
Results
There was a significant difference in the mean SBS (P < 0.001) between the tested groups (PES: 0.684, 95% CI [0.460 to 0.757]). GG had a statistically significantly higher mean SBS (19.63 ± 4.44 MPa) than the other adhesives. EC had a significantly higher mean SBS (14.15 ± 5.28 MPa) than MD (9.98 ± 1.81 MPa). There was no significant difference in mean SBS between TL (11.96 ± 3.34 MPa) and EC or between TL and MD. There was a significant difference in ARI scores (P < 0.001) between the tested adhesives (PES[H]: 0.262, 95% CI [0.100 to 0.510]). The predominant mode of bond failure in GG, TL, and EC was cohesive failure, while MD revealed bond failure at the enamel/adhesive interface. There was a significant difference (P = 0.010) in the DC values between the tested composites (PES: 0.518, 95% CI [0.202 to 0.640]). GG (83.66 ± 2.48%) had a significantly higher mean DC than MD (74.57 ± 5.47%). There was no significant difference in the mean values of the DC between GG, TL (77.02 ± 2.42%), and EC (78.36 ± 3.23%), or between TL, EC, and MD.
Conclusion
GG had the highest SBS. All the tested adhesives showed adequate and acceptable SBS and DC for clinical practice. All the adhesives revealed cohesive bond failure, except MD exhibited bond failure at the enamel/adhesive interface. The DC was influenced by the composite type. GG had the highest DC and was significantly higher than MD.
