To determine if a new unfilled experimental self-etching primer (SEP) adhesive system (SBP-40TX + C&B Metabond) that incorporates a methyl methacrylate-based 4-META/TBB (4-methacryloxyethyl trimellitate anhydride tri-n-butyl borane) resin can provide adequate shear bond strength (SBS) when used for bonding orthodontic brackets.
