Effects of a fluoride containing casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate complex on shear bond strength and adhesive remnant index of teeth eroded by different beverages: an in-vitro study

Abstract

One of the most commonly encountered complications that we come across during orthodontic treatment is loosening of brackets or bond failure. Dental erosion and loss of tooth structure have also been reported to reduce bond strength and cause bond failure. The frequency of dental erosion in the recent past has increased because of the increase in consumption of various acidic drinks and it has been reported to reduce the shear bond strength. Use of various remineralization agents have shown to increase enamel surface hardness post-dental erosion and it has been suggested as a prophylactic agent.
