Digital vs. Conventional Indirect Bonding.

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

digital indirect bonding technique: Fixed orthodontic appliance will be bonded using a digital indirect bonding technique

conventional indirect bonding technique: Fixed orthodontic appliance will be bonded using a conventional indirect bonding technique

Study summary

This randomized split-mouth clinical trial will compare digital and conventional indirect bonding techniques for fixed orthodontic bracket placement in adolescent patients requiring treatment in both dental arches.

Each participant will receive both bonding techniques, with allocation of the digital and conventional indirect bonding procedures to the upper or lower arch determined by randomization. The study will evaluate the time required to complete bracket bonding procedures and the early clinical performance of the two techniques, assessed by bracket failure within the first month after appliance placement.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Time required to complete bracket bonding procedures, measured in minutes — During procedure (from the beginning of bracket bonding to completion of bracket placement)
  The time required to complete the bracket bonding procedure will be measured in minutes for each participant, from the beginning of the bonding procedure to completion of bracket placement, using the assigned adhesive system.
