ORTHODONTICS
BONDING = Adhesion + attachments
Bonding is based on mechanical locking of an
adhesive to irregularities in enamel surface of
tooth and to mechanical locks formed in the base
of orthodontics attachments. Successful bonding
depends upon
Tooth surface and its preparation
Design of attachment base
Bonding material itself.
EVOLUTION OF BONDING
SYSTEM
1956- 85% Phosphoric acid by Buonocore.
1965 Epoxy Resin by newman
1968 Smith introduced zinc poly acrylate cement
Around 1970s
Miura et al (acrylic resin with modified trialkyl
borone catalyst
Diacrylate resin
Most widely used (Bowens resin or bis GMA)
BOND FAILURE
CLASSIFICATION (TAKAMI
ITOH (1999))
Type A = Adhesive enamel interface failure
Type B = Cohesive failure inside adhesive
Type C = Adhesive bracket interface failure
Type A = Common with bracket bonded with GIC
Type C = Common with bracket bonded with
composite.
ADVANTAGES
Esthetically superior
Faster and simpler
Less discomfort
Arch length is not increased by band material
Allows more precise bracket placement
More hygienic than band
Partially erupted teeth can be controlled
Mesiodistal enamel reduction is possible during treatment
Attachment may be bonded to artificial tooth surfaces.
DISADVANTAGES
Bonded bracket has a weaker attachment than a
cemented band
Some bonding adhesives are not sufficiently strong
Better access for cleaning doesnt necessarily
guaranty better oral hygiene and improve gingival
condition, if excess adhesive extends beyond the
bracket base.
Protection against inter proximal caries is absent
Rebonding requires more time than re cementing
bands
Debonding is more time consuming than debanding
Loosening of brackets
Inaccurate bracket placement
Decalcification during treatment
Time consuming aspect of debonding

ACRYLIC RESIN
1st material to be used in orthodontic. They had good
flow and wettability. Lacking sufficient bond
strength. High degree of polymerization
shrinkage.
Chemically they are linear-cross linked polymer of
methaceylic acid
ex. Orthomite, Genie
EPOXY RESIN
Epoxy resin polymerisation reaction lead to give a 3
dimensional cross-linkage, with improved greater
strength, lower water sorption and less
polymerization shrinkage, but less wettability to
tooth surface.
It was Bowan who combined acrylic resin with
epoxy resin and give rise to Bis-GMA system,
which was later named as composite resin.
COMPOSITE RESIN
This Bis-GMA resin has some amount of
polymerisation shrinkage and lack of sufficient
strength which was compensated by addition of
fillers of various particle sizes. Some new
compositer resin have matrix other than Bis-GMA
like UDA and TEGDMA.
Polymerization of composite resin
Chemical reaction
Activation by U.V or visible light
Heat
Composition
Paste
Bis GMA Matrix
Calloidal silica Filler
Camphorquinone - photo initiator
0.15% dimethyl aminoethyl methaacrylate Accelerator
0.01% butylated hydroxy toluene inhibitor
Primer liquid
Methacrylate monomer
TEG DMA
Upon exposure initiator accelerator get activated by absorbing photon
energy giving rise to chemical reaction which results in material
polymerisation.
Advantages
Enamel surfaces in minimally affected during
bonding/debonding.
Achieves chemically adequate bond strength
Few if any resin tags left behind in the enamel.
BONDING PROCEDURE
The steps involved are
Cleaning
Enamel conditioning
Sealing
Bonding
Cleaning : Thompson and Way (1991) recommended small bristle brush for more
effective and less damaging cleaning.
Enamel conditioning
Moisture control
Lip expanders
Saliva ejector
Tonque guard with bite blocks
Salivary duct abstractors
Gadgets that combine several of these
Cotton or guaze rolls
Antisialogogues
Enamel Pretreatment
After the operating field has been isolated the teeth to be
bonded are dried and the conditioning solorgel (usually
37% phasphoric acid) is then lightly applied ever enamel
surface for 15 to 60 sec. When etching solution used the
surface must be kept moist to avoid damaging enamel rods.
Care must be taken not to rub the liquid on to teeth. Next
the teeth are thoroughly dried to obtain dull, frosty
appearance.
Fluoridated phosphoric acid sol & Gel provide similar etching effect
similar to non-fluoridated ones, give adequate bond stregth.
Sealing After the teeth are completely dry and appear frosty white, then
layer of sealant is painted over entire, etched enamel surfaced with a
single gingivioincisal stroke. Excess sealant may cause drifting of
bracket and enamel topography.
Bonding
Steps in bonding
Transfer of bracket Bracket is holded with reverse action tweezer
and then adhesive is applied to the back of bonding base. Bracket is
immediately placed on the tooth close of its correct position.
Positioning A placement scaler is used to position the bracket
mesiodistally and in ciso-gingivally. Mouth mirror will aid in
horizontal positioning, particularly on rotated premolar
Fitting - with one point contact, the bracket is pushed firmly towards
the tooth surface. The tight fit will result in good bond strength.
Brackets
Types : Plastic based, Ceramic based and metal (S.S, Gold coated and Titanium)
Plastic Brackets
These are made of ply carbonate and are used mainly for esthetic reason.
Disadvantages
Lack strength to resist distortion and breakage
Uptake of water
Discolaration
Ceramic brackets
These are machined from mono crystalline or poly crystalline
aluminium oxide.
Advantages
Resist staining and discolouration
Metal Bracket
Rely on mechanical retention for bonding and mesh gauze is the conventional
method of providing this retention.
Disadvantages
Corrosion of metal brackets
Black and green stain
Bonding to crown and restoration
Micro etcher which uses 50 micron millimeter or 90 micron millimeter tan
aluminimum oxide particle at approx 7kg /cm2 pressure
Bonding to Porcelin
Procedure
Isolate the working field
Deglaze an area slightly larger than bracket base by sand blasting with 50
micron millimeter aluminium oxide for 3 sec.
Etch the porcelin with 9.6% Hydrofloric acid gel for 2 min.
Carefully remove the gel with cotton rolls, then rinse using high volume
suction.
Immediately dry with air, and bond bracket.
Bonding to amalgam
Improved technique for bonding to amalgam restoration may
involve.
Modification of metal surface
Use of intermediate resin that improve bond strength
New adhesive resin that bond chemically to non-precious
as well as precious metal.
Bonding to small restoration
Sand blast the amalgam alloy with 50 micron millimeter
aluminium oxide for 3 sec.
Acid etching with 37% phosphoric acid
Apply sealants and bond with composite resin.
INDIRECT BONDING
In this technique brackets are attached to teeth on patients models,
transferred to the mouth. With some sort of tray into which bracket
become incorporated and then bonding simultaneously.
Advantages
Brackets can be more accurately placed
Saves clinical chair time.
Disadvantages
o Disturbance in polymerization
o Removal of excess adhesive is difficult
o Higher failure rates.
Techniques
Indirect bonding with silicone transfer trays
Indirect bonding with double sealant techniques
REBONDING
The loose bracket is removed from archwire.
Any adhesive remaining on the tooth
surface is removed with TC bur. The
adhesive remaining on the loose bracket is
treated by sand blasting. The tooth is then
etched with ultra etch 35% phosphoric acid
gel for 15 to 30 sec. After sealing bracket is
rebonded. The neighboring bracket are
religated first and then rebonded bracket is
ligated.
RECYCLING
The Main goal of recycling process is to remove the adhesive
from the bracket completely without damaging or
distorting the dimension of bracket slot.
Commercial processes employ heat (about 450oC) to burn
off the resin, following by electro polishing to remove the
oxide build or they use solvent stripping combined with
high frequency vibrations and only flash electro polishing.
DEBONDING
Objective of debonding are to remove the attachment and all
the adhesive resin from the tooth and restore the surface as
closely as possible to its pretreatment condition.
Clinical Procedure
Divided into two stages
Bracket removal
Removal of residual adhesive
Bracket Removal (Steel bracket)
Original method was to place the tip of twin beaked pliers
against the mesial and distal edges of bonding base and cut
the bracket off between the tooth and base.
A gentle technique is to squeeze the bracket wing
mesiodistally and lift the bracket off with a peel force.
Ceramic Bracket
Thermal debonding
Use of laser
Removal of Residual adhesive
The removal of excessive adhesive may be accomplished by
Scraping with a very sharp or bond removing pliers or with
a scaler.
Using a suitable bur and contra angle approx 30,000 rpm is
optimal for rapid adhesive material without damaging
enamel. When all the adhesive has been removed, the tooth
surface may be polished with pumice.s
Acid etching
BONDED RETAINERS
Permanent maintenance of the achieved orthodontic results
after successful treatment of malocclusion is of
paramount importance for a clinician.
Fixed bonded retainer increased suddenly due to its
following advantage.
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
v.
Completely invisible
Comfortable to patient
Reduce need for long term patient co-operation
Easy to maintain oral hygiene
Prolonged semipermanent and even permanent retention can be
provided
Purpose
1. To prevent incisor re-crowding
2. To hold the achieved lower incisor position in space
3. To keep the rotation center in the incisor area when a mandibular
anterior growth rotation tendency is present
ADVANTAGES
They may allow safe retention of treatment results
when proper retention is difficult, or even
impossible with traditional removable appliance.
They allow slight movement of all bonded teeth
and segments of teeth. Apparently this is the main
reason for the excellent long term results.
They are invisible
They are neat and clean
They can be placed out of occlusion in most
instances.
They can be used alone. Or in combination with
removable retainer.
DISADVANTAGES
Good oral hygiene of patient is mandatory
Daily flossing in each interdental space is
recommended
