Abstract

Shear bond strength is the amount of force required to break the connection between a bonded bracket and tooth. Bond failure of the bracket during orthodontic treatment is a common problem which results in treatment interference, increase treatment time and prolonged clinical time for rebonding of failure brackets. Various factors can contribute to bond failure including poor operator technique, saliva contamination and masticatory forces. These days there is increased consumption of all types of beverages among children as well as adults. In previous studies, it has been seen that beverages can also affect the bond strength and adhesion of the brackets. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the shear bond strength and adhesive remnant index of the bracket-tooth interface during the
