Cochrane NJ, et al. – The present study was undertaken to evaluate debonded metal and ceramic brackets attached with a variety of bonding materials to discover how frequently this type of damage occurs. Researchers reported that enamel damage regularly occurred during the debonding process with the degree of damage being highly variable. They observed that damage occurred more frequently when ceramic brackets were used (31.9%) compared with metal brackets (13.3%). Findings revealed that removal of ceramic brackets bonded with resin-modified glass ionomer cement resulted in less damage compared with the resin bonding systems.
