Clinical bracket failure rates between different bonding techniques: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bracket failure increases the treatment time of orthodontic therapy and burdens patients with unnecessary costs, increased chair time, and possible new appointments.

Objective

To compare the bond failures of different orthodontic materials based on the results of available clinical studies.

Search methods

A systematic search of clinical trials was performed in the Cochrane, Embase, and Pubmed databases with no limitations. The list of investigated techniques contained conventional acid-etch primer (CM-AEP), self-etch primer (SEP), self-cure resin (SCR), and simple or resin-modified glass ionomer (RM-GIC) materials and procedures.

Selection criteria

Clinical studies reporting the failure rate of bonded brackets after using direct adhesive techniques o
