A clinical trial of an indirect bonding technique with a visible light-cured adhesive.
A trial was carried out to evaluate the clinical performance of a visible light-cured adhesive when used with a foil mesh base in an indirect bonding technique. Thirty-seven patients entered the trial, and a total of 407 brackets were placed. The incidence and site of bond failure were recorded. The overall failure rate was 6.5%. There were no significant differences detected between the failure rates for either the upper or the lower arches or for the anterior and the posterior segments of the arches (p less than 0.01).
