Bond Strength and Deflection of Four Types of Bonded Lingual Retainers

Abstract: Objectives. This study aimed to assess the bond strength and deflection of four types of bonded lingual retainers. Materials and Methods. In this in vitro, experimental study, 160 extracted, mandibular incisors were mounted in acrylic blocks in sets of two and randomized into four groups for bonding of 1.0.010 × 0.026-inch Bond-A-Braid®, 0.012 × 0.027-inch Retanium®TM, 0.038 × 0.016-inch Ortho FlexTech®, and 0.0175-inch three-strand retainer wires; 15 mm of passive wire was adhered to the lingual tooth surface… Show more
