Abstract---Background: The bleaching procedure results in damage to
the outer enamel layer by forming porosities, which leads to
demineralization and modification in the calcium–phosphate ratio.
The present study was conducted to assess the effect of adhesion
boosters on shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets on
bleached teeth. Materials & Methods: 60 maxillary premolars teeth
were randomly divided equally into 2 groups. Group I were bleached
teeth and group II had non-bleached teeth. Each group was further
divided equally into 3 subgroups (n = 10) depending on the type of
adhesive booster used (Enhance LC, All-bond 2, and no adhesive
booster [control]). Maxillary premolars brackets were bonded.
