title: Effects of different surface preparations on shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets to porcelain.
abstract: The aim of this study was to assess bonding of orthodontic metal brackets to porcelain surfaces using various surface treatment methods. Etching the porcelain with 9.6 percent HF followed by a bonding agent or silane application provided high and acceptable shear bond strengths.
