ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the type of etchant on the shear bond strength (SBS) of metallic brackets to enamel and the Adhesive Remnant Index (ARI) after debonding. A total of 30 mandibular and maxillary premolars were randomly distributed into groups (n = 10) treated with 1 of 3 enamel surface-conditioning agents 35% phosphoric acid (PA), 35% glycolic acid (GA), or 35% ferulic acid (FA). The designated acid was applied to the buccal enamel surface of the tooth for 20 seconds, and the tooth was then rinsed with distilled water for 20 seconds and air dried for 5 seconds. A metal bracket was bonded to the prepared surface with light-cured orthodontic resin. After 24 hours, the bracket-tooth interface was submitted to SBS testing in a universal testing machine at a speed of 0.5 mm/min. After debonding, the enamel surface was observed under a stereomicroscope (×20 magnification) to determine the ARI. The generalized linear models showed that the PA and GA groups presented significantly higher SBSs than the FA group (P = 0.0003). The ARI was significantly higher in specimens treated with PA than with the other acids (P < 0.05; Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn tests), with a larger quantity of adhesive remaining adhered to the tooth. Both PA and GA are effective for bonding brackets, but GA resulted in a lower percentage of adhesive remnant adhered to the enamel.
