Abstract

This paper gives an extensive review of factors which may influence the location of the weak link in the bonding/debonding chain. The engineering principles of finite element stress analysis have been applied to three different methods of orthodontic bracket removal. This method identifies the area of maximum principal stress which is the likely location for the initiation of the crack within the enamel/composite/ complex.
