Material and Methods - Lingual brackets were bonded indirectly to 60 premolars divided to three groups according to the curing light used: Group 1, plasma arc for 6 s; Group 2, LED for 10 s; and Group 3, halogen light for 40 s. After bonding, the specimens were subjected to a shear force until debonding. The debonding pattern was assessed and classified according to the ARI scores. The mean shear bond strengths were accessed by anova followed by the Student-Newman-Keuls test for multiple comparisons. ARI scores were assessed using the chi-square test. Results - The three groups showed significant differences (p < 0.001), with the averages of group 1 < group 2 < group 3. Groups showed no differences regarding ARI scores. Conclusion - Bonding lingual brackets indirectly with plasma arc, during 60% of the time used for the LED, produced lower SBS than obtained with the latter. Using LED during 25% of the time of the halogen light produced lower SBS than obtained with the latter. These differences did not influence the debonding pattern and are clinically acceptable according to the literature. © 2010 John Wiley & Sons A/S.48-55engDental bondingLight-curedOrthodontic bracketsOrthodonticsShear bond strengthcomparative studydental bondingdental caredental equipmentevaluationhumanorthodontic deviceshear strengthCuring Lights, DentalDental Bonding, Light-CuredDental Stress AnalysisHumansOrthodontic BracketsShear StrengthArtigo10.1111/j.1601-6343.2009.01474.xWOS:000273461100007Acesso restrito2-s2.0-7404912195785477475564460208223795731605246
