Study of the effect of different surface treatments and surface roughness of veneered crowns on shear bond strength of ceramic brackets

Int J Orthod Milwaukee. 2011 Summer;22(2):31-7.

Abstract

The orthodontist is often faced with the problem of bonding brackets to ceramic restorations. The purpose of this study was to find the most reliable method for bonding ceramic brackets onto ceramic crowns.
