    Abstract

    To evaluate the effect of type of orthodontic adhesive on shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets. Materials & methods: A total of 90 newly extracted premolars were bonded to 0.022 SS brackets and equally divided into two groups based on adhesive used: Transbond XT (light-cure adhesive, 3M Unitek.) and Rely-a-Bond (self-cure adhesive, Reliance Orthodontic Product,). Shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets was evaluated. Results: Transbond XT (16.2 MPa) attained the highest bond strength. Self-etching adhesives (Transbond Plus, 12.7 MPa) showed clinically acceptable shear bond strength (SBS) values. Conclusion: All adhesives yielded SBS values higher than the recommended shear bond strength.
