In group 4 (control group), metal brackets were bonded to the untreated veneer surfaces using no-mix adhesive resin.
The present study was conducted to evaluate the bond strengths of metal orthodontic brackets bonded to resin laminate veneer surfaces (nanocomposite) using diamond bur, microetcher, or phosphoric acid surface treatments.
Therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate and compare the cyclic shear bond strengths (CSBSs) and static shear bond strengths (SSBSs) of metallic orthodontic brackets bonded to resin laminate veneer surfaces (nanocomposite) using different conditioning protocols.
Later, marquetry decoration and walnut-veneer surfaces became the most common decorative treatments.
For a single crown restoration, the tooth structure removal required for an F3 preparation (metal-ceramic crown) was 4.3 times greater than for a V2 preparation (porcelain laminate veneer, facial surface only) and 2.4 times greater than for a V4 preparation (more extensive porcelain laminate veneer).
