Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the research progress of orthodontic bracket bonding with self-etching agent in recent years.
METHODS: A computer-based retrieval of Wanfang database was conducted for articles about orthodontic bracket bonding with self-etching agent, retrieval time is from September 2000 to August 2010. Key words are “self-etching agent; bracket; shear strength”. Inclusion criteria: (1) directly targeted and highly relevant literatures. (2) Repetitive researches were excluded. All data were preliminarily screened, and citations after each article were checked.
RESULTS: Totally 20 literatures met the inclusive criteria, compared with traditional adhesive enamel, self-etching adhesive agent has a similar shear strength of orthodontic bracket. There was no significant difference between two methods in the enamel adhesive residual after the bracket removed.
CONCLUSION: Compared with the traditional enamel etching adhesive, the self-etching agent has a reliable shear strength and low remnant index of the adhesive agent, thus it can meet the need for orthodontic bracket bonding.
