Comparative Analysis of Enamel Conditioning Methods on Shear Bond Strength of Orthodontic Brackets: An In-Vitro Study
Background Conventional enamel conditioning with 37% phosphoric acid is commonly used for orthodontic bracket bonding but causes enamel demineralization. Erbium, chromium-doped yttrium scandium gallium garnet laser conditioning has been proposed as an alternative. This study compared the shear bond strength and adhes...
