Overview

This library dissertation comprehensively explores the evolution, types, procedures, and materials involved in orthodontic bonding, which is a pivotal aspect of modern orthodontic treatment. It begins by highlighting the historical context and the increasing demand for aesthetic dental solutions, particularly emphasizing the shift from banding to bonding techniques in orthodontics.The history section traces the development from Buonocore's acid etching technique in the 1950s to the emergence of direct and indirect bonding systems. It outlines contributions by pioneers like Bowen, Newman, and Miura in advancing resin technologies and bracket adhesion.The dissertation thoroughly details the evolution of bonding, discussing various adhesive systems, bracket types (metal, plastic, ceramic), and the progression from chemically-cured to light-cured and self-etching primers. It explains how bracket base designs (e.g., perforated, mesh, foil-mesh) and curing technologies (UV, visible light, LED) have evolved to improve bond strength and patient comfort.
