This table presents a synthesized view of each manuscript, focusing on the study type, sample size, main findings, and statistical significance of the results, which should assist in quickly understanding the outcomes and impacts of these studies
First author et al. and year | Type of study | Sample size | Main results | Significant statistical results |
---|---|---|---|---|
Ghaleb et al., 2024 | Experimental in vitro | 60 teeth | Different systems for removing orthodontic adhesive affected enamel roughness differently. Tungsten carbide burs were best, followed by sof-lex discs, with diamond burs being the worst. | Yes, significant differences were found in enamel roughness and time for cement removal between different systems (p < 0.05). |
Bishara et al., 2008 | Experimental in vitro | 30 teeth | New debonding instrument reduced bracket fracture compared to conventional pliers. | Yes, significant difference in bond failure patterns between two debonding methods (p = 0.013). |
Shamsi et al., 2006 | Experimental in vitro | 60 teeth | Comparison of two adhesives showed differences in bond strength and residual adhesive. Resin-modified glass ionomer cement had lower bond strength than resin adhesive. | Yes, significant difference in bond strength and adhesive remnant index between two types of adhesives (p < 0.001). |
Shammaa et al., 1999 (October) | Experimental (in vitro and in vivo) | 80 teeth (in vitro), 30 patients (in vivo) | Comparison of debonding force and survival rate of brackets with different adhesives. No significant difference in survival rates among adhesives. | No significant differences in survival rates; however, differences in debonding force were observed in vitro (p < 0.05). |
Osorio et al., 1999 (February) | Experimental in vitro | 60 teeth | Longer etch time resulted in higher bond strength and more adhesive left on enamel after debonding. | Yes, significant differences in shear bond strength and adhesive remnant based on etching time (p < 0.05). |
