Abstract
Objective Enhance-L.C. is an orthodontic adhesion promoter. Our aim was to find out if this product is material-specific as stated by its manufacturers or whether its effects are similar when the promoter is used with other adhesive systems.
Design In vitro study.
Setting Dental Clinic. University of Murcia, Spain, 2002.
Materials and methods Enhance-L.C. was used with one of the manufacturer's recommended adhesives, Light-Bond, and with a second from another manufacturer, Transbond-XT. One hundred premolars were divided into four groups of 25 premolars: 1)Transbond-XT, 2) Transbond-XT/Enhance-L.C., 3) Light-Bond, 4) Light-Bond/Enhance-L.C.
Main outcome measures Shear bond strength was evaluated with a universal test machine and the adhesive remaining after debonding was determined using image analysis equipment.
Results Enhance-L.C. did not significantly increase the bond strength of either of the two systems (P > 0.008). However, Light-Bond/Enhance-L.C. provided a bond strength significantly greater (P < 0.008) than Transbond-XT and Transbond-XT/Enhance-L.C. Light-Bond also left significantly (P < 0.05) less adhesive remaining on the enamel than Transbond-XT, whether or not either of the systems were used with Enhance-L.C.
Conclusions The use of Enhance-L.C with Light-Bond is to be recommended whenever extra bond strength is needed.
