Effect of bleaching with hydrogen peroxide into different concentrations on shear strength of brackets bonded with a resin-modified glass ionomer
Pithon, Matheus Melo; Ruellas, Antônio Carlos de Oliveira & Sant'anna, Eduardo Franzotti
Abstract
The evolution in glass ionomer cements has contributed to the
reduction in dental caries in orthodontic patients because of the
biological and chemical characteristics of this material; however no
studies in the literature have evaluated the effect of bleaching treatment
on the bond strength values of resin-modified glass ionomer cements
(RMGICs). This study assessed the effect of a 6, 7.5 and 35%
hydrogen peroxide bleaching gel on shear bond strength and bond
failure site of brackets bonded with a resin-modified glass ionomer
(Fuji Ortho LC, GC Europe, Leuven, Belgium). One hundred-fifty
bovine mandibular permanent incisors were randomly divided into
10 groups; each group contained 15 teeth. Bleaching treatment was
performed immediately at 2 different times before the bonding
procedure. One hundred-fifty stainless steel brackets were bonded
with the resin-modified glass ionomer. Following, all samples were
stored in distilled water for 24 hours and then tested in shear mode
on a Instron machine. ANOVA and Tukey's test showed statistical
differences between the groups whose teeth were treated with 7.5%
hydrogen peroxide and the control group. However, no statistical
differences were found for the other groups (P > 0.05). With respect
to adhesive remnant index (ARI), the majority of fractures occurred
at the bracket/composite interface. Despite the decreased shear bond
strength, the bonding of teeth whitened with different concentrations
of hydrogen peroxide was found to be strong enough to resist
mechanical and masticatory forces.
