Figure 3. Microhardness of bioactive-glass (BAG)-containing orthodontic bonding agents tested in the present study. When BAG was added to CF, the microhardness increased significantly. In particular, the hardness of CF mixed with 15% (wt/wt) A1Z5 was similar to that of TXT. CF, CharmfilTM Flow (A2 shade, Denkist, Seoul, Korea); TXT, TransbondTM XT (3M, USA).
