    Glass Fiber Layer Effect on Chemico-mechanical Properties of Light Cure Adhesive Systems

    By Usha Sree RS, Praveen Kumar Varma D, Pradeep Kandikatla, Anoosha Manda, Hari Babu N, Ravi Teja Galam

    Abstract: Introduction: Orthodontic adhesives should have clinically acceptable shear and tensile bond strength to withstand masticatory forces and those generated by treatment mechanics. Mechanical properties of the adhesive, such as flexural modulus of elasticity, tensile strength, and compressive strength, are more heavily influenced by the resin matrix's Degree of cure (DC). Aim: The study compares the effect of the Glass fiber layer on Chemico-mechanical properties using three different light cure adhesive …

    Comparison of Bond Strengths of Nano and Microhybrid Flowable Composites for Orthodontic Bonding: An Invitro Study

    By Ravi Teja Galam, Padma Priya C V, Pradeep Kandikatla, Anoosha Manda, Hari Babu N, Sai Keerthi Velagala

    Abstract: Introduction: When the orthodontic brackets are bonded to the etched enamel, the ideal orthodontic adhesive should have optimal bond strength and be able to withstand masticatory forces as well as orthodontic forces. At the same time, when the treatment is completed, the bracket should debond without causing any damage to the enamel. There have been many recent advances in composites in general and their applications in orthodontic use is questionable. …
