Evaluation of the effectiveness of plaque adjacent to orthodontic brackets bonded with fluoride-releasing resin-based composite


Abstract in English

The effectiveness of the bacterial plaque adjacent orthodontic brackets which bonded with fluoride releasing resin-based composite was studied to evaluate the ability of this bonding material in the control of caries process. 128 orthodontic brackets were bonded on 128 second premolars in 32 patients by using conventional composite in one group and fluoride releasing resin-based composite in other group using the split-mouth technique.
