Abstract

The aim of this study was to clarify whether bonding/debonding procedure will affect the occurance of enamel crack. The frequency of enamel crack was compared between before-bonding and after-debonding on 200 human extracted teeth. Each facial surface of the tooth was divided in 9 fragments. A presence of crack, which was classified by its direction as vertical, horizontal and oblique crack, was surveyed in each fragment. Number of all cracks in facial surface was 1355 at before-bonding, and 1605 at after-debonding, so it revealed significant increase rate of $18.5\%$, but compared by fragment, cracks were significantly Increased in OC, OD, CC and GC fragments. All kinds of cracks were significantly increased, especially increase rate of oblique crack reached $54.9\%$. The increase rate of cracks was not superior at any fragment or region, but some evidence was seen in CC fragment. Judging from the above, increase of crack is unavoidable with bonding/debonding procedures.
