Abstract :

Background: The effectiveness of adhesive materials used for bracket bonding is an important factor of orthodontic treatment that directly affects patient satisfaction and treatment success. It is important to know the advantages of various orthodontic adhesives to improve treatment results and reduce issues like enamel demineralization. Aim: To thoroughly evaluate and contrast the performance of different orthodontic adhesives in terms of enamel protection and bonding stability throughout orthodontic therapy. Materials and Methods: Following PRISMA criteria, a systematic search was carried out using several databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library. Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms and carefully chosen keywords were used in the search technique to find pertinent research published between 1989 and 2023 that included approximately 1465 total articles. The inclusion criteria covered studies that evaluated the efficacy of orthodontic adhesives for the reliability of bracket bonding and the preservation of enamel during orthodontic treatment. Results: Six recognized papers that evaluated the efficacy of diverse orthodontic adhesives using disparate approaches. The results showed that different adhesive types varied in bonding strength, failure rates, cleanup times, and enamel protection. Significant distinctions were noted between adhesives that were chemically cured and those that were light-cured, as well as between adhesives based on resin and glass ionomer cement. While retaining a good bonding strength, compomer and composite resin adhesives shown potential benefits in lowering enamel decalcification. Conclusion: The significance of taking clinical results and bonding performance into account when choosing adhesive materials for orthodontic treatment is highlighted by a comparative examination of orthodontic adhesives. To improve treatment efficacy and patient care, future research efforts should concentrate on overcoming methodological constraints and further clarifying the mechanisms behind enamel protection and adhesive bonding strength.
