This study aims to compare shear bond strength (SBS) and mode of failure (MOF) between ceramic and metal orthodontic brackets on glazed monolithic zirconia using non-woven polypropylene fiber adhesive. Sixty glazed and sintered zirconia blocks were divided into six groups and attached with orthodontic brackets as follows: CS, ceramic bracket with silane; CB, ceramic bracket with bonding agent; CBS, ceramic bracket with bonding agent and silane; MS, metal bracket with silane; MB, metal bracket with bonding agent; and MBS, metal bracket with bonding agent and silane. There was a statistically significant difference in mean SBS values (p < 0.001). The CS group showed the highest SBS value (23.42 ± 3.88 MPa). On the other hand, the lowest was found in the MB group, which was not statistically different from the CB group (3.26 ± 0.76 and 5.09 ± 1.50 MPa, respectively). The MS, MBS, and CBS groups showed no statistical difference compared to each other (15.57 ± 4.01, 13.23 ± 5.47, and 12.77 ± 4.43 MPa, respectively). SBS is highest when a ceramic bracket with silane is bonded to glazed monolithic zirconia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
