Esthetic Brackets Bonded to Feldspathic Ceramic Surfaces in Publishing Order

No. and Year of Publication	Bracket Type	Adhesive Type	Additional Testing	Results
200148	Ceramic	Sandblasting 50 um/silane/sandblasting+silane/HF 9.6%/sandblasting + 4-Meta adhesive, no-mix bonding composite		HF+ silane sgn higher SBS, similar tosandblasting+silane
200346	Ceramic	HF/microetching + Ideal 1 (without silane)/Right On (with silane)		HF sgn higher SBS, both adhesives satisfactory results
200317	Composite	Self-cure non mixed resin Unite with either etching/silane/etch+silane	Thermocycling half of specs	Highest SBS etch + silane, no thermocycling
200449	Polycarbonate	Phosphoric acid+primer+bonding agent/HF+primer+bonding agent/tribochemical silica coating+silane/APA 30 um+silane+bonding agent, composite for all	Thermocycling	Silica coating + silanizationsgn higher SBS than phosphoric acid, APA=HF groups
200677	Ceramic	HF 9.6% 2 min + silane (1)/APA+HF 9.6%+silane (2)/APA+silane (3), Light Bond adhesive for all	Thermocycling	Group 1=2, lower SBS in Group 3
200678	Ceramic	HF 9.6% 2 min+silane+adhesive, curing soft start LED or halogen light		Sgn higher SBS for LED lamp
200776	Ceramic	APA 25 um+HF 9.6%+silane+ halogen curing unit for 10s or 20s/LED 3.5 or 10s in standard or fast mode		No sgn differences between SBS, ARI scores, porcelain damage and bracket base fracture.
201252	Ceramic	Control/diamond bur +orthophosphoric 37%/HF 10%/HF 10%+silane, Transbond XT for all		HF+silane best SBS, but risk of damage
201250	Metallic and ceramic	HF 9% + silane for all, 2 composites, 4 light curing units, 3 led, 1 halogen		SBS sufficient in all groups, mean SBS higher for ceramic brackets
