A bonding technique for fixed maxillary retainers
Journal of Orthodontics, 2012Maintaining incisor alignment is an important goal of orthodontic retention and can only be guaranteed by placement of an intact, passive and permanent fixed retainer. Here we describe a reliable technique for bonding maxillary retainers and demonstrate all the steps necessary for both technician and clinician.

Severe complication of a bonded mandibular lingual retainer
American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 2012Bonding a flexible spiral wire retainer to the lingual surfaces of all six anterior mandibular teeth is a commonly used type of retention. Complications are rare but can be serious enough to produce biologic damage. This article presents a serious complication of a lingual flexible spiral wire retainer.

Alternative alloys for resin-bonded retainers
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1991Traditionally, resin-bonded fixed partial dentures have been made with nickel-chrome-beryllium alloys and cemented with conventional resin luting cements. However, alternative alloys for resin-bonded retainers offer improved physical and biocompatible properties, and resin-metal bond strengths twice that of traditional methods can be achieved.

The Angle orthodontist, 2012
To assess the frequency and type of upper bonded retainer failure and to identify possible predisposing factors.The records of 466 consecutive patients with upper bonded retainers were analyzed retrospectively with respect to retainer failures and failure type as well as timing of failure, differences among operators, and the number of defects of the ...

Journal of the Irish Dental Association, 2005
Retention is usually necessary following orthodontic treatment to overcome the elastic recoil of the periodontal supporting fibres and to allow remodelling of the alveolar bone. The degree of change is variable and largely unpredictable. Bonded lingual retainers have been shown to be an effective means of retaining aligned anterior teeth in the post ...

The influence of contamination on the bond strength of an etched resin-bonded retainer
The Journal of the American Dental Association, 1986This investigation examines the influence of potential sources of contamination on the resin bond strength of a base metal alloy. Sixty specimens were cast in a base metal alloy and etched. Composite resin cylinders were bonded to six groups of ten specimens each and tested for shear bond strength using a testing machine at a strain rate of .5 mm/min ...

Unexpected complications of bonded mandibular lingual retainers
American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 2007The flexible spiral wire (FSW) retainer is the most frequently used type of fixed retainer bonded on all 6 anterior teeth. Our aim in this article was to demonstrate unexpected posttreatment changes in the labiolingual position of the mandibular anterior teeth associated with the use of FSW retainers.During a 3-year period, patients attending the ...

Breakage Incidence with Direct Bonded Lingual Retainers
British Journal of Orthodontics, 1999This study examined the effects of a number of patient and clinical variables on the breakage of bonded retainers, and consisted of a retrospective review of the survival of 200 bonded retainers. Data was collected from two clinical centres between November 1996 and February 1997. The subjects comprised 198 patients of both sexes divided into three age

Ag−Pd alloys for resin-bonded retainers
Dental Materials, 1986Abstract A method for electrolytically etching silver-palladium alloys has been investigated. All the alloys included in the study responded quite favorably to the process. Bond strength values were determined for a composite-resin luting agent as well as a laboratory-cured composite-resin veneer.
