The aim of this study was to,<br>test the efficiency of this devise to bond orthodontic brackets, via unique exposure<br>for the whole teeth, by comparing the rate of the brackets failure with the<br>traditional led light source used in orthodontic brackets bonding which utilizes<br>light exposure for every tooth separately, and evaluating the benefit of time saving<br>through contrasting the time required for bonding with the ordinary led and<br>halogen light sources.<br>Materials and methods: 856Roth 0.22 stainless steel brackets were bonded to 39<br>patients by using one of the two light sources in the form of three groups;<br>bleaching light group (13 patients / 225 brackets) , ordinary led light group (13<br>patients /237 brackets), split mouth group( by using combination of the two<br>sources, 13patients / 229 brackets).<br>Results: There is no statistically significant difference between the light source used<br>for bleaching and traditional led light source in bracket failure rates, and the time<br>required for bonding by the bleaching light source is 22% and 5% of that required<br>by ordinary led light and ordinary halogen light respectively.<br>Conclusion: the light sources used for bleaching can be used effectively in bonding of<br>orthodontic brackets with given advantage of saving time and effort.<br><br></p>}, number={1}, journal={Mustansiria Dental Journal}, author={Rasheed, Dr. Natheer A.}, year={2018}, month={Feb.}, pages={37–42} }
