Bond Pair
Conditions
Brief summary
Although there are many studies in the literature concerning with methods of bonding of mandibular retainers whether directly or indirectly, there is a very limited evidence regarding their chair side time and bond failure. Also there are scarce data on 3D printed fixed mandibular retainers. Choic

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Bond failure | Baseline to 12 months | Primary Outcome Bond Failure Measured by number of debonded teeth using clinical examination and during follow ups Time Frame: Immediately after bonding (baseline visit) till 12 months |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Chairside time | During bonding procedure (baseline visit) | Measure: Time required for bonding the fixed retainer Measurement Tool: Digital stopwatch Unit: Seconds Time Frame: During bonding procedure (single visit, baseline) |
| Plaque accumilation | Every 3 month | Measure: Plaque score around mandibular anterior teeth Measurement Tool: Silness and Löe Plaque Index Unit: Numerical score Time Frame: Baseline ,3 month 6 months and 12 months follow-up |
| Wire breakage | Every 3 month till 12 month | Measure: Presence or absence of retainer wire fracture Measurement Tool: Clinical examination Unit: Binary (Yes/No) Time Frame: During 3 month ,6-month and 12 months follow-up period |
| Posttreatment relapse | After 12 month | Measure: Alignment changes of mandibular anterior teeth Measurement Tool: Little's Irregularity Index Unit: Millimeters (mm) Time Frame: Baseline and12 months follow-up |
