A comparative in vitro study on monomer release from flash-free or conventional bonding systems.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To examine the amount of residual monomer released from adhesive-precoated flash-free brackets and compare it to traditional light cure and chemical cure adhesives.

Materials and methods

Sixty stainless steel brackets were bonded on upper premolar teeth using three groups of adhesive systems: Adhesive-precoated flash-free system, Transbond XT light cure, Sia chemical cure. The extracts of 0.5 ml of liquid samples were taken on the first, 7th, 21st, and 35th days. To determine the amount of residual monomer release, extracted samples were analyzed using a liquid chromatography device.

Results

Urethane-dimethacrylate, triethylene glycol dimethacrylate, hydroxyethyl methacrylate and Bisphenol A-glycidyl methacrylate monomers were released from all study groups
