Abstract

Purpose: To determine the effects of thermocycling on shear bond strengths (SBSs) of a self-etching primer (SEP) after 10,000 and 20,000 thermal cycles. The tested hypothesis was that 10,000 and 20,000 thermal cycles would affect the bond strength of metal brackets bonded to enamel with the self-etching primer.
