Comparison of the Brackets Bonded With Bulk Fill Composite and Conventional Composite in Patients Undergoing Fixed Orthodontic Treatment
Sponsor: Rizwan Khalil
Summary
The primary objective of this study is to compare the survival rate (days) of orthodontic bracket bond to the tooth, and the secondary objective is to compare the dental plaque accumulation and gingival health using plaque index and gingival index respectively between brackets bonded with bulk fill composite and light cure conventional composite in patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment over a period of three months.

Interventions
Bulk Fill Composite
Orthodontic brackets will be bonded using a bulk fill composite resin, which is formulated for faster application and reduced polymerization shrinkage compared to conventional composites. This material will be used to assess its bond strength, failure rate, and overall clinical performance.
Conventional Composite
Orthodontic brackets will be bonded using a conventional light-cured orthodontic composite resin that requires careful incremental application and standard curing time. This material is commonly used in routine clinical practice and serves as the benchmark for comparison.
