Discoloration of Orthodontic Adhesives –A Clinician’s Review
Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Oral and Dental Research - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Abstract:Discoloration of orthodontic adhesive during the length of orthodontic treatment and after debonding of brackets poses a difficult aesthetic situation for the clinician and the patient. A detailed review of the causes of the discoloration from a clinical perspective is detailed in the article. Demineralization of enamel and penetration of resin tags, enamel cracks, surface defects are the main causes. The type of composite used, its constituents and the curing process also affects the speed and extend of the discoloration of the enamel. Steps the clinician can take reduce the amount of discoloration of enamel like use of a slow speed tungsten carbide burs are explained. Even though some discoloration of enamel is inevitable, steps can be taken to minimize the problem to a negligible proportion. Keywords: Discoloration, composite, Demineralization, Resin Tags, Tungsten carbide Bur, Adhesives.
