INTRODUCTION
 Tooth movement
 Attachment of brackets on tooth
 Banding
 Bonding
 Acid Etch technique – Buonocore – 1955
 Newman – Epoxy resin 1965

Benefits of bonding
 Aesthetics
 Easier plaque control
 Decreased irritation of gingival
tissues
 Absence of interproximal space after
the completion of treatment.
PATIENT:

Benefits of Bonding
PRACTITIONER:
 eliminates pre-treatment separation
of teeth & needless to mention it also
greatly decreases chair side time.
 direct bonding makes it easier to
detect & treat dental caries

ADHESION
“The state in which two surfaces are
held together by interfacial forces
which may consist of valence forces
or interlocking forces or both”

ADHESIVE
“ is a material frequently a viscous fluid that
joins two surfaces together and solidifies
and therefore is able to transfer a load from
one surface to the other.
ADHEREND
Material to which an adhesive is
applied is called Adherend

SURFACE WETTING & CONTACT ANGLE
“WETTING” use a fluid that will flow and “wet” an
adherend
“CONTACT ANGLE” which is nothing but an angle
formed by the adhesive with the adherend at
their interface.
IMPORTANCE
The smaller the contact angle, the better able,
is the adhesive to fill in irregularities in the
surface of the adherend.

MECHANISMS OF ADHESION
MECHANICAL ADHESION
ADSORPTION ADHESION
DIFFUSION ADHESION
ELECTROSTATIC ADHESION

MECHANICAL :
INTERLOCKING OF ADHESIVE WITH
IRREGULARITIES IN THE SURFACE OF
THE ADHEREND.
ADSORPTION :
CHEMICAL BONDING BETWEEN THE
ADHESIVE AND ADHEREND

ELECTROSTATIC:
THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL DOUBLE
LAYER AT THE INTERFACE OF A
METAL AND POLYMER THAT IS PART
OF THE TOTAL ADHESIVE SYSTEM
DIFFUSION :
INTERLOCKING BETWEEN MOBILE
MOLECULES, SUCH AS THE ADHESION
OF TWO POLYMERS THROUGH
DIFFUSION OF POLYMER CHAIN ENDS
ACROSS AN INTERFACE.

Requirements for adhesive
systems
 Wetting: An adhesive must give
good wetting of the adherend.
 Thickness: Too great thickness
can lead to poor bond strength.
 Strength: of the set adhesive
must be taken into consideration.www.indiandentalacademy.com

 Viscosity: The adhesive should
have a suitable viscosity to enable
it to flow readily over the surface of
adherend
 Dimensional Stability: The setting
time of the adhesive should occur
without excessive dimensional
changes i.e.., little expansion or
contraction.

Setting Reaction: The hydrogen ions of the acid attack
the glass particles in the presence of water releasing
calcium, strontium, and aluminium ions. The metal ions
combine with the carboxylic group of the polyacid to
form the polyacid salts matrix and the glass surface is
changed to a silica hydrogel.

Bonding
Direct Indirect

DIRECT BONDING
 Easier, Faster
 Less expensive
 Drawbacks
 proper positioning is crucial.
 Has to be done rapidly and accurately.

INDIRECT BONDING
 Placing brackets in a model
 Use template or tray to transfer
 Common agent – “No-mix” chemically
activated materials
 More useful in Lingual attachments

Current categories of Adhesive bonding
According to Howard E. Srassler
(Compendium - June 2003 )
1.Total etch adhesive bonding
2. Self – etch adhesive bonding

Total Etch Adhesive bonding

1)Cleansing
2)Enamel conditioning or acid etching
3)Priming
4)Bonding
Bonding or adhesion to the
enamel is done in the
following procedure .

Pre-treatment
 Cleansing Improves wetting
 Acid etching Improves adhesion
micromechanical retention.
Pre-treatment is necessary as mouth is
complicated by saliva ,acquired pellicle ,
different organic and inorganic
components of enamel and dentin.

Salivary pellicle
When a tooth is cleaned in situ,
salivary proteins and glycoproteins with
a strong affinity for enamel very quickly
adsorb to the tooth surface and form a
very thin layer called salivary pellicle.

CLEANSING
Removal of salivary pellicle &
contaminants
Material used – Pumice
Improves wetting

Moisture Insensitive Primer
 Bonding can be done in the presence of
Moist environment.
 Requires moisture for the initiation of
polymerization.
MIP,s
Arndt kloche et. al. Angle orthodontist
2003 August.
Hydrophilic primer – from 3rd generation

Why Moisture control is
important?
 Surface energy reduced – less favourable
for bonding
 Porosities are plugged – reduced no of
tags
 Difficult anatomical areas
 2nd
molar
 Lingual surfaces of lower teeth
 Partially erupted teeth
 Surgically exposed teeth

Commercially used MIPs
1. Transbond
2. Assure
Composition of Transbond
- Ethyl alcohol 30-40% ( Solvent )
- Bis-GMA

- HEMA – Hydroxy ethyl methacrylate
( main Hydrophilic component )
- CDMA – Citric acid
( allows greater cross linking )
- GDMA – Diluent + hydrophilic monomer
/ Same function as CDMA
/ The Hydrophilic monomer takes
Oral fluid & so fluoride uptake
- Acidic Co-polymer
/ Greater cross linkingwww.indiandentalacademy.com

-CPQ / Amine
-Photo initiator
- H2O - Solvent
( Water normally interferes with
adhesive if not removed.
But in Transbond, Water induces
Partial ionization of Carboxyl groups
& an inert dilution effect without
Activating any setting mechanism )

Studies
 Wet Conditions
Higher bond strength with MIP in
1 & 24 hours
 Dry Conditions
Conventional primer showed
higher strength in 1 & 24 hours

ADVANTAGES
1)Esthetically superior
2)Faster and simpler
Less discomfort for the patient
Arch length is not increased by band
material and no band spaces to close
at the end of treatment .
Better access for cleaning
Mesiodistal enamel reduction is
possible during treatment.www.indiandentalacademy.com

Disadvantages
1)However a bonded bracket has a weaker
attachment than a cemented band .
2)Better oral hygiene is not guaranteed
especially if excess adhesive extends
beyond the bracket base.
3)Rebonding a loose bracket requires more
preparation than rebonding a loose band
