title: KommonBase for precise direct bonding of lingual orthodontic brackets.
abstract: On account of the morphological variations of lingual dental surfaces, indirect bonding systems have been used for bonding lingual orthodontic brackets. Improvements in bracket seating and bonding systems have enabled the development of KommonBase, a precise direct bonding system. KommonBase is characterized by a large bonding base, which can achieve a good bracket fit and precise bracket positioning while also enhancing bond strength. Furthermore, transfer trays are not required because of its self-positioning shape. KommonBase offers an advantageous alternative to conventional indirect bonding systems for the bonding of lingual orthodontic brackets.
