The effect of light curing and self-etching primer after saliva contamination on shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets: An in vitro experimental study

Conclusions Saliva contamination has no significant effect on the shear bond strength of SEP. Light curing of SEP increased the bond strength. SEP has more value than the conventional primer in reaching to good bond strength results so that it may diminish the bad effect of saliva contamination on shear bond strength.
