Popis: OBJECTIVES: To evaluate and compare the shear bond strength of stainless-steel brackets using three different light curing units MATERIAL AND METHODS: Using three LED curing units (3M ESPE Elipar, Ivoclar bluephase, and Woodpecker I LED light cure), 120 precoated metal brackets (Gemini series, 3M Unitek) were cured. The shear bond strength was recorded using a universal testing machine. RESULT: The shear strength of the bracket in different light-curing systems was examined with ANOVA test. The mean shear strength of group A, group B, and group C were 16.03 ± 14.30 MPA, 16.86 ± 11.89 MPA, and 20.51 ± 19.40, respectively. The result of the analysis shows that there is a major difference in shear bond strength of these three different light-curing systems with F value = 3.94 and P value 0.04 CONCLUSION: We used three LED light-curing units with different intensities and manufacturing companies. The result showed that woodpecker I LED light had significantly highest mean SBS than the other two (Elipar LED curing light and 3M ESPE, Ivoclar bluephase).
