The objectives of this study were (1) to compare the in vivo survival rates of orthodontic brackets
bonded with a resin-modified glass ionomer adhesive (Fuji Ortho LC; GC America, Alsip…

How the tumor microenvironment participates in pancreatic cancer progression is not fully
understood. Here, we show that SCs are activated by cancer cells and collectively organize …

The purpose of this study was to compare the debonding force of orthodontic brackets
bonded with two conventional resin adhesives (Resilience L3 and Light Bond) and a resin-…

Enamel decalcification is a significant problem in orthodontic patients. The argon laser has
been shown to reduce decalcification during an acidic challenge in vitro. The purpose of this …

INTRODUCTION: A self-etching primer (SEP) saves valuable time by eliminating the many

of brackets bonded to bleached and unbleached teeth. Materials and Methods: Thirty-eight …

The bonding force and the incidence of porcelain fracture for two porcelain systems, on removal
of orthodontic brackets bonded to porcelain veneer laminates after thermocycling, were …

Introduction: This study assessed in-vitro shear bond strength and in-vivo survival rate of
orthodontic brackets bonded with either a halogen or a plasma arc light. Methods: Ninety …
