About this trial
This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of a remineralizing self-etch primer used for orthodontic bracket bonding. The study compares bonding performance, enamel surface effects, and clinical outcomes between the experimental primer and the conventional bonding protocol,verify the potential remineralization effect, and examine the amount of adhesive remnants left on enamel over a period of 6 months.
