A clinical evaluation of the effectiveness of including fluoride into an orthodontic bonding adhesive. 1997

A clinical trial was undertaken to assess the value of incorporating fluoride released from a commercially available bonding adhesive (Rely-a-Bond) to determine the extent of any protection provided against enamel decalcification. Fifty patients undergoing fixed appliance therapy were included in the trial. Contralateral quadrants were used as controls where no fluoride was present in the adhesive. Enamel decalcification after treatment and bond failure rates during treatment were investigated. A total of 366 experimental and 371 control teeth were included in the study. The results showed that 50 per cent of patients and 13.5 per cent of teeth exhibited post-treatment decalcification. The addition of fluoride to the adhesive did not significantly reduce the incidence of enamel decalcification. Bond failure rates were satisfactory for both experimental and control teeth (all under 5 per cent).

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.

D016910 Orthodontic Brackets Small metal or ceramic attachments used to fasten an arch wire. These attachments are soldered or welded to an orthodontic band or cemented directly onto the teeth. Bowles brackets, edgewise brackets, multiphase brackets, ribbon arch brackets, twin-wire brackets, and universal brackets are all types of orthodontic brackets.

D017001 Tooth Demineralization A tooth's loss of minerals, such as calcium in hydroxyapatite from the tooth matrix, caused by acidic exposure. An example of the occurrence of demineralization is in the formation of dental caries. Demineralization, Tooth
D018709 Statistics, Nonparametric A class of statistical methods applicable to a large set of probability distributions used to test for correlation, location, independence, etc. In most nonparametric statistical tests, the original scores or observations are replaced by another variable containing less information. An important class of nonparametric tests employs the ordinal properties of the data. Another class of tests uses information about whether an observation is above or below some fixed value such as the median, and a third class is based on the frequency of the occurrence of runs in the data.

D019279 Resin Cements Dental cements composed either of polymethyl methacrylate or dimethacrylate, produced by mixing an acrylic monomer liquid with acrylic polymers and mineral fillers. The cement is insoluble in water and is thus resistant to fluids in the mouth, but is also irritating to the dental pulp. It is used chiefly as a luting agent for fabricated and temporary restorations. (Jablonski's Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p159) Resin Cement,Cement, Resin,Cements, Resin
