Time-related bond strength of resin-reinforced glass ionomer cement under various light exposure conditions
Conclusion Although LED and PAC showed approximately peak irradiance five times higher than TQH, there is no significant difference in tensile and shear bond strength between TQH and PAC. It appears that LCGIC would have provided greater bond strength under various conditions of LED-10's. (Source: Orthodontic Waves)

Effect of gable bend incorporated into loop mechanics on anterior tooth movement: Comparative study between en masse retraction and two-step retraction
Conclusion Incorporation of gable bends into closing loops would provide effective torque control of the anterior tooth in two-step retraction. Conversely, it is considered that the movement patterns of anterior teeth are hardly influenced by gable bends placed into loops in en masse retraction. (Source: Orthodontic Waves)
