Introduction: Precise acid etching of the tooth surface is a significant factor in the strength of the bracket bond. The current study aimed to determine the effect of different application times of acid etching on the shear bond strength of metallic orthodontic brackets under controlled laboratory conditions.
Methods: Sixty intact premolar teeth were selected for this in-vitro study. The samples were divided into four groups based on the different acid etching times: 20, 25, 30, and 35 seconds. The teeth surfaces were etched with 37% phosphoric acid according to the specified times, and brackets were bonded to the enamel surface using GC Ortho connect composite. Shear bond strength values of the brackets was measured using a Universal Testing Machine. The amount of Adhesive Remnant Index was also observed using a stereomicroscope. Additionally, the surface roughness of the tooth enamel after bracket bonding was examined using SEM. The results related to shear bond strength were analyzed with one-way ANOVA statistical test and using SPSS version 16 software. The non-parametric Kruskal Wallis (Wallis-Kruskal) test was also used to check the frequency of ARI index.
Results: The highest shear bond strength was observed at 25 seconds, and the lowest at 30 seconds. However, there was no significant difference in the shear bond strength of brackets was observed among the four groups (p=0.186). The highest ARI score was observed at 35 seconds, and the lowest at 20 seconds. No statistically significant difference was observed in the ARI scores in different groups. SEM images revealed that the enamel surface porosity was highest at 20 seconds.
Conclusion: The results indicate that the shear bond strength and ARI at different acid etching times do not significantly differ. Therefore, orthodontic bracket bonding can be performed with less acid etching time.
