Abstract

This paper reports on the mechanical performance of a visible light cured orthodontic bonding agent. It is concluded that this type of material is as effective as other commercial adhesives and offers certain advantages in handling. Resistance to 4 kg of force in the shear/peel mode within the first 5 minutes of its application is expected from a clinically usable adhesive.
