Abstract

In this paper the bond strength of the bracket and tooth surface is defined with regard to suitability for clinical practice and different factors described which could have an effect on it. As moisture is the most frequent cause of debonding of the bracket, its effect is discussed on new adhesive systems: conventional, hydrophilic and self-etching. The bond strength of certain systems is compared in dry conditions and under the influence of water and saliva applied to the surface of the enamel during different phases of bracket bonding in in vitro conditions. Their efficacy is then compared in clinical conditions. The specificity of contamination by saliva and blood and the effect of blood on bond strength when using different systems are pointed out.
