Özet
Background: The quality of the water passing through the water lines is crucial to dental procedures. Studies on bracket adhesion of hydrogen peroxide colloidal-Ag, which is widely used to prevent biofilm formation, are limited in the literature.Aim: To determine whether disinfecting the dental units' waterlines (DUW) with hydrogen peroxide colloidal-Ag has any effect on the shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets bonded to enamel.Materials and methods: Sixty premolar teeth were divided randomly into two groups. The study and control groups consists of 30 teeth that were etched for 30 seconds with 37% phosphoric acid. Study groups washed with hydrogen peroxide colloidal-Ag water and the control group washed with municipal water. Transbond XT adhesive system was used to bond stainless steel brackets on all the teeth. A 300-g force was applied using a tension gauge to ensure a uniform adhesive thickness and light cured with 6 seconds. The SBS was quantified by means of a universal testing machine. The residual adhesive on the enamel surface was evaluated after debonding using the adhesive remnant index (ARI).Results: The t-test results indicated that there were no significant differences in the SBS. The comparison of the results of ARI scores was found statistically insignificant.Conclusion: It has been found that hydrogen peroxide colloidal-Ag, which is used to reduce the amount of biofilm in DUW, does not have a negative effect on the adhesion of the brackets.
