Overview

Administration of bromelain improves bond strength of brackets in orthodontics, indicating enhanced effectiveness and safety in treatment.

Key Points

  • Bromelain enhances the bond strength of orthodontic brackets, improving treatment outcomes significantly.
  • Applying bromelain before acid etching can provide a safer alternative to sodium hypochlorite, which is traditionally used.
  • Bromelain shows potential in reducing plaque accumulation and gingivitis in orthodontic patients, promoting better oral hygiene.
  • Most evidence is based on in vitro studies, emphasizing the need for long-term clinical trials to ensure safety in orthodontic applications.
