Self-etching vs. traditional bonding systems in orthodontics: an in vitro study.
The need for a bonding system that is consistently reliable, biocompatible, and most of all, easy to use and is unaffected by saliva contamination, has led to the development of products that did not require the initial step of etching the enamel surface. In these new systems elements of etching, priming and bonding are all in one component. The aim of this study was to compare the bonding strength of brackets with a traditional technique to the Prompt L-Pop (monocomponent adhesive) using the same composite resin. The results showed no statistical differences in detachment values of these two groups.
