Abstract
A clinical trial was carried out to evaluate and compare the clinical performance of a visible light-cured material with a chemically cured adhesive. This was used in combination with two types of bracket base. Fifty-two patients entered the trial and 542 bracket bases were placed. The incidence and site of bond failure were recorded. The overall failure rate for the light-cured material in combination with both types of bracket was 4.7% and 6% for the chemical-cured adhesive. There were no significant differences detected between the failure rates for both types of adhesive in combination with either bracket base, and no bracket base/adhesive combination proved superior (p greater than 0.05). When the data were examined in an overall manner, a significantly higher posterior tooth failure rate was detected for all adhesive/base combinations (p less than 0.001).Entities:
