ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: During orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances, demineralization around brackets often occurs. The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of the caries-protective self-assembling peptide P11­4 (SAP P11-4) on the shear bond strength of metal brackets. METHODS: In all, 45 extracted human wisdom teeth were available for the study. The teeth were randomly divided into 3 groups (each n = 15) and pretreated as follows: test group 1: application of SAP P11­4 (Curodont Repair, Windisch, Switzerland) and storage for 24 h in artificial saliva; test group 2: application of SAP P11­4; control group: no pretreatment with SAP P11­4. A conventional metal maxillary incisor bracket (Discovery, Dentaurum, Ispringen) was adhesively bonded to each buccal surface. The shear bond strength was tested according to DIN 13990. After shearing, the Adhesive Remnant Index (ARI) was determined microscopically (10 נmagnification). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to check the groups for significant differences (α = 0.05). The distribution of the ARI scores was determined with the χ 2 test. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in shear forces between the groups (p = 0.121): test group 1 = 17.0 ± 4.51 MPa, test group 2 = 14.01 ± 2.51 MPa, control group 15.54 ± 4.34 MPa. The distribution of the ARI scores between the groups did not vary (p-values = 0.052-0.819). CONCLUSION: The application of the caries protective SAP P11­4 before bonding of brackets did not affect the shear bond strength. Therefore, pretreatment of the enamel surface with SAP P11­4 shortly before bracket insertion can be considered.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the effect of a 445-nm diode laser on the shear bond strength (SBS) of metallic brackets before debonding. Background: Due to the new blue laser technology, very few studies are available in this context. Methods: Seventy metallic brackets (Discovery; Dentaurum, Ispringen, Germany) were bonded to the frontal enamel surfaces of 70 caries-free bovine incisors in a standardized way. Each sample was randomly assigned to the control or laser group, with 35 samples per group. The brackets in the laser group were irradiated with the diode laser (SIROLaser Blue®; Sirona, Bensheim, Germany) on three sides of the bracket bases for 5 s each (lateral-coronal-lateral, a total of 15 s) immediately before debonding. SBS values were evaluated for the control group and laser group. Micrographs of the enamel surface were taken with 10 × magnification to assess the adhesive remnant index (ARI) and the degree of enamel fractures after debonding. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in SBS in the laser group in comparison with the control group (p > 0.05). The distribution of ARI scores was also not statistically significantly different in the laser group in comparison with the control group (p > 0.05). Three enamel fractures occurred in the control group and one in the laser group after debonding. Conclusions: Irradiation of metallic brackets with the 445-nm diode laser before debonding does not significantly reduce the SBS values and does not influence the remaining amount of adhesive on the enamel surface. The risk of enamel fractures during debonding is therefore not clinically affected.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to analyze the time-dependent in-vitro behavior of the periodontal ligament (PDL) by determining the material parameters using specimens of porcine jawbone. Time-dependent material parameters to be determined were expected to complement the results from earlier biomechanical studies. METHODS: Five mandibular deciduous porcine premolars were analyzed in a combined experimental-numeric study. After selecting suitable specimens (excluding root resorption) and preparing the measurement system, the specimens were deflected by a distance of 0.2 mm at loading times of 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, and 60 seconds. The deflection of the teeth was determined via a laser optical system, and the resulting forces and torques were measured. To create the finite element models, a microcomputed tomography scanner was used to create 3-dimensional x-ray images of the samples. The individual structures (tooth, PDL, bone) of the jaw segments were reconstructed using a self-developed reconstruction program. A comparison between experiment and simulation was conducted using the results from finite element simulations. Via iterative parameter adjustments, the material parameters (Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio) of the PDL were assessed at different loading velocities. RESULTS: The clinically observed effect of a distinct increase in force during very short periods of loading was confirmed. Thus, a force of 2.6 N (±1.5 N) was measured at the shortest stress duration of 0.2 seconds, and a force of 1.0 N (±0.5 N) was measured at the longest stress duration of 60 seconds. The numeric determination of the material parameters showed bilinear behavior with a median value of the first Young's modulus between 0.06 MPa (2 seconds) and 0.04 MPa (60 seconds), and the second Young's modulus between 0.30 MPa (10 seconds) and 0.20 MPa (60 seconds). The ultimate strain marking the transition from the first to the second Young's modulus remained almost unchanged with a median value of 6.0% for all loading times. CONCLUSION: A combined experimental-numeric analysis is suitable for determining the material properties of the PDL. Microcomputed tomography allows high-precision recordings with only minimum effort. This study confirms the assumption of time dependency and nonlinearity of previous studies.
