The search to improve the properties of dental adhesives has lead to the development of light-cured glass ionomer cements. Using human teeth in vitro, the present study tested the shear/peel bond strengths of two light-cure materials ('Variglass VLC' and 'Fuji Lining LC') against a 'no-mix' composite orthodontic adhesive ('Right-On') and a chemically cured glass ionomer cement ('Ketac-Cem'). The light-cured materials were found to have an inferior bond strength compared with the two control adhesives. Based on the findings of this study, there is no evidence to support the use of the materials tested for the bonding of orthodontic brackets.

D011076 Polycarboxylate Cement Water-soluble low-molecular-weight polymers of acrylic or methacrylic acid that form solid, insoluble products when mixed with specially prepared ZnO powder. The resulting cement adheres to dental enamel and is also used as a luting agent. Zinc Polycarboxylate Cement,Cement, Polycarboxylate,Cement, Zinc Polycarboxylate,Polycarboxylate Cement, Zinc
D001840 Dental Bonding An adhesion procedure for orthodontic attachments, such as plastic DENTAL CROWNS. This process usually includes the application of an adhesive material (DENTAL CEMENTS) and letting it harden in-place by light or chemical curing.

D003743 Dental Enamel A hard thin translucent layer of calcified substance which envelops and protects the dentin of the crown of the tooth. It is the hardest substance in the body and is almost entirely composed of calcium salts. Under the microscope, it is composed of thin rods (enamel prisms) held together by cementing substance, and surrounded by an enamel sheath.

D005899 Glass Ionomer Cements A polymer obtained by reacting polyacrylic acid with a special anion-leachable glass (alumino-silicate). The resulting cement is more durable and tougher than others in that the materials comprising the polymer backbone do not leach out.
