Abstract

Aim: This In-Vitro study investigated the effect of different surface treatment techniques on SBS of orthodontic brackets bonded to teeth following bleaching. Material and Method: Fifty extracted human premolars teeth were embedded into self‑cure acrylic resin exposing the coronal portion. The embedded specimens were categorized into five groups of 10 teeth each, and the groups were as follows: Group I: No bleaching + orthodontic bracket bonding. Group II: bleaching + orthodontic bracket bonding. Group III: bleaching + sandblasting + orthodontic bracket bonding. Group IV: bleaching + 70 % ethyl alcohol + orthodontic bracket bonding. Group V: bleaching + 10% sodium ascorbate + orthodontic bracket bonding. Orthodontic premolar brackets were bonded to the buccal surface of embedded teeth using composite and cured for 40 seconds and SBS was measured. The SBS analysis was performed with the help of the universal testing machine.
