الخلفية والأهداف

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.
