This study compared the shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets to laboratory processed indirect resin composites (IRC) after different surface conditioning methods and aging. Specimens made of IRC (Gradia Indirect, GC) (thickness: 2 mm; diameter: 10 mm) (N=80) were randomly assigned to one of the following surface conditioning methods: C-Control: no treatment; AA-Air-abrasion (50 µm Al 2 O 3 particles); DB-Diamond bur and HF-Etching with hydrofluoric acid (9.6%). After adhesive primer application (Transbond XT), orthodontic brackets were bonded to the conditioned IRC specimens using adhesive resin (Transbond XT). Following, storage in artificial saliva for 24 h at 37°C, the specimens were thermocycled (x1000, 5-55°C). The IRC-bracket interface was loaded under shear in a Universal Testing Machine (0.5 mm/min). Failure types were classified using modified Adhesive Remnant Index criteria.Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey`s HSD (⍺=0.05). Surface conditioning method did not significantly affect the bond strength results (p=0.2020) but aging significantly decreased the results (p=0.04). Interaction terms were not significant (p=0.775). In both non-aged and aged conditions, nonconditioned C group presented the lowest bond strength results (MPa) (p<0.05). In non-aged conditions, surface conditioning with DB (8.03±0.77) and HF (7.87±0.64) showed significantly higher bond strength results compared to those of other groups (p<0.05). Thermocycling significantly decreased the mean bond strength in all groups (2.24±0.36-6.21±0.59) (p<0.05). The incidence of Score 5 (all adhesive resin remaining on the specimen) was the highest in HF group without (80%) and with aging (80%) followed by DB (40, 70% respectively). C groups without and with aging showed exclusively Score 1 type (no adhesive resin on the specimen) of failures indicating the least reliable type of adhesion.
