Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the Shear Bond Strength (SBS) of six different adhesive systems including Transbond XT (3M ESPE) and Light Bond Kit (Reliance) as orthodontic bonding system; Fusion Xtra (Voco) and Xtrafil (Voco) as bulk-fill composites; Nexus (Kerr) and Maxcem Elite (Kerr) as adhesive-resin cements for bonding of metal and ceramic brackets. Methods: Sixty permanent maxillary premolars were randomly divided into twelve equal groups. Stainless steel (Gemini bracket; 3M Unitek) and ceramic (Radiance, American Orthodontics) maxillary premolars brackets with a 0.022 inch slot, were bonded to the teeth using six different adhesive systems according to manufacturers’ instructions. Shear bond strength of the samples were done by Shimatsu instron instrument. Following the shear bond test, samples were evaluated under stereomicroscope for Adhesive Remnant Index (ARI) scores. The data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), post hoc Tukey HSD and chi-square tests. Results: Analysis of variance test showed a significantly differences among the various group. Brackets bonded with Light Bond Kit and Fusion Xtra in metallic brackets showed a significantly lower SBS than other groups (P<0.05). Additionally, teeth bonded with Tranbond XT ceramic brackets showed a significantly higher SBS than the other groups. Moreover, significant differences in debond locations (ARI scores) were found among the various groups. Conclusion: The bond strength of ceramic brackets was significantly higher than metallic ones except Xtrafil and the adhesive-resin cement. Clinical Significance: Bulk-fill composites can successfully be used for bracket bonding.
