The paper examines the bond resistance between the orthodontic clamp and tooth enamel using two different compounds: an autopolymerizing type (Right-On), already widely used in orthodontal practice, and a photopolymerizing type (Transbond) which has been recently introduced into the market. The bond was tested by applying horizontal traction with a progressively increasing weight. The results obtained were compared for statistical significance (Student's t test).
