Enamel etching was first proposed by Buonocore in 1955, which became the basis for bonding of orthodontic brackets to the enamel surface. In orthodontic practice, it is essential to obtain a reliable adhesive bond between an orthodontic attachment and the tooth surface since replacing loose brackets is inefficient and time-consuming. Bond failure usually occurs as a result of stress caused by the orthodontic procedure, normal oral functions such as mastication or due to inconsistencies in the bonding technique. Sufficient bond strength is a factor that contributes to the clinical success of orthodontic treatment. Thus, a continuous search is on for higher bond strengths adhesives. Largely the assessment of bonding agents has been done in-vitro using shear bond strength measurement. Extrapolation of results from such studies to clinical studies becomes difficult due to a large variability in the study designs. This article intends to address the variability in evaluation of the in-vitro bond strength and its inadequacies.
