A fluoride-containing composite resin--an in vitro study of a new material for orthodontic bonding.
The shear/peel bond strength of a new material, a 'hybrid' of a composite resin and a glass ionomer cement, was compared in vitro with the bond strengths of a composite resin and of a glass ionomer cement. The new material had a significantly greater bond strength than the other materials tested and its properties were very similar to the composite resin. Unlike the glass ionomer cement, etching of the enamel before applying the adhesive is required. The clinical indications for using this new cement are discussed.
