About this study

Official title: Effect of Self-Etch Primer Application on the Bond Failure Rate of a Mandibular Bonded Lingual Retainer

Background: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of self-etch primer (SEP) application on the bond failure rate of a mandibular bonded lingual retainer over 24 months.

Materials and Methods: After the removal of the orthodontic appliances, the lingual retainers, which were made of six-stranded stainless steel wire 0.0215 inches in diameter, wiil bent and bond onto the lingual surface of all mandibular anterior teeth. The study will performed using a split-mouth design. In the study group, the SEP will be administired to the teeth's lingual surfaces. In the control group, they will etch using 37% phosphoric etchant liquid gel. After etching, the primer wiil be applied. The adhesive resin was applied and the lingual retainer was fitted. The patients will be re-valuated over 24 months. The first bond failures and the amount of adhesive remaining on the tooth will be recorded as the adhesive remnant index (ARI) scores.

The chi-square test will be used to compare the bond failure rates and ARI scores between the groups. The survival rates of the retainers will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier test. The significance level will P < 0.05.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Orthodontic retainer bondingOther

    Self-etch primer (Transbond XT Primer; 3M Unitek, California) was administered to the teeth's lingual surfaces.

Study groups in NCT05340595
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Control groupOtherThe primer (Transbond XT Primer; 3M Unitek, California) was applied in a thin and uniform coat. Then the adhesive resin (Transbond LR Light Cure Adhesive Paste; 3M Unitek, California) was administered to the lingual surface of the anterior teeth and the lingual retainer was placed in position. The adhesive resin was polymerized from two directions for a total of 20 s using a visible-light curing unit (Hilux 200, Benlioglu Dental Inc., Ankara, Turkey) with an output power of 600 mW/cm2.

Study groupActive comparatorIn the study group, the SEP (3M Unitek, Monrovia, California) was used according to the manufacturer's instructions, namely it was administered to the lingual surfaces of the teeth and rubbed for 3 s. Then a gentle burst of dry air was delivered to thin the primer. In the control group, the lingual surfaces of the teeth were etched using 37% phosphoric etchant liquid gel (3M Espe, St Paul, Minnesota, USA) for 30 s, followed by rinsing and drying.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Orthodontic retainer bonding in people with Dental Bonding and Orthodontic Retainers, run by Ondokuz Mayıs University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Bond Failure Rate of a Mandibular Bonded Lingual Retainer (time frame: 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05340595, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Apr 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 3 Nov 2026.
