Effect of the precrack preparation with an ultrasonic instrument on the ceramic bracket removal

In terms of fracture mechanics, a precrack preparation may facilitate the propagation of a break through the expected fracture plane during the bracket debonding process. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of an ultrasonic precrack preparation on the debonding force and failure mod...
