The effect of crosshead speed, load cell configuration and curing time on the shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets

Objective: Evaluate the effect of crosshead speed, load cell configuration and curing time on shear bond strengths. Methods: 160 human molars were divided into equal groups of 20 second and 40 second photopolymerization times and then into 1kN or 10kN load cell groups. Each of the groups were divi...
