Effect of non-thermal plasma on the bond strength of orthodontic brackets to enamel : an invitro study
Objectives: Non-thermal plasma (NTP) has been used to modify enamel and dentin surfaces and improve the interfacial bonding of dental composite restorations. NTP is shown to cause super hydrophilic surface by decreasing the contact angle measurements and improve the quality of the adhesive - enamel...
