All the adhesives tested are suitable for bonding orthodontic brackets and to reduce the risk of enamel fracture while minimizing etching depth, which in turns means less conditioning-related enamel loss. More development is needed to improve the etching performance of both experimental bonding agents and SE Zement.

Resulcin Aqua Prime & Monobond N and AC-Bond did not differ significantly from established 5th-generation products. Further in-vivo studies are required to investigate intra-oral stability and resistance against changing forces and force directions.
