Effect of Metal Primer Application on the Shear Bond Strength of Orthodontic Brackets with Different Base Designs: An In Vitro Study

Abdeen Shaker, Selim Arici — Faculty of Dentistry, Atlas University, Istanbul, Türkiye
Dent. J. 2026, 14(9), 581 · doi:10.3390/dj14090581

Background / Objectives

Direct bonding of orthodontic brackets is standard in fixed-appliance therapy, but clinical success depends on achieving reliable bond strength without compromising enamel integrity during debonding. This in vitro study evaluated whether applying a metal primer to stainless-steel bracket bases affects shear bond strength (SBS) to enamel, and whether primer coverage and bracket-base design influence adhesive-remnant distribution and enamel integrity.
