Popis: This study investigated the the influence of bracket displacement or rotation during fixation and the time of excess adhesive removal from around the bracket on bond strength to enamel.Stainless steel brackets were bonded to the buccal faces of bovine incisors using Transbond XT® adhesive resin. The teeth were divided into five groups (n = 20). In the control group, no displacement or rotation of the bracket was carried out. In the Displac-A group, excess adhesive was removed after the bracket was displaced 2 mm incisally. In the B-Displac group, excess adhesive was removed before the bracket was displaced incisally. In the Rotat-A group, excess adhesive was removed after the bracket was rotated 45°. In the B-Rotat group, excess adhesive was removed before the bracket was rotated. Photoactivation was carried out on the lateral sides of the bracket. A shear test was conducted 10 min after fixation using a knife-edged chisel. Bond strength data were analysed using ANOVA and Fisher's test (5%). The adhesive remnant index (ARI) was scored under magnification. ARI data were analysed using the Kruskal-Wallis test (5%).No significant differences were detected among the Control, Displac-A, Rotat-A and B-Rotat groups. The B-Displac group showed lower bond strength than all of the other groups, except Displac-A. No significant differences were observed in ARI scores across groups.Displacements of the brackets during fixation did not seem to affect the enamel bond strength when excess adhesive is removed after the final positioning of the bracket.
