Effects of different remineralization agents on shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets: in vitro study.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different remineralization agents-Proshield Fluoride Varnish (FV), GC MI Varnish (MI), and ROCS Medical Mineral Gel (ROCS MMG)-on the shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets after application at various time intervals.
methodsA total of 120 human premolar teeth were divided into 10 groups (n = 12). The experimental groups received different remineralization agents (FV, MI, ROCS MMG) at time intervals of 1, 15, and 30 days, while the control group received no application. The enamel surfaces were etched, and metal orthodontic brackets were bonded using a light-cured composite adhesive. SBS was measured using a universal testing machine, and adhesive remnant index (ARI) scores were assessed after bracket debonding.
resultsNo statistically significant differences were observed in SBS among all experimental groups and the control group (P = 0.307). SBS values for the FV, MI, and ROCS MMG groups did not differ significantly at the 1, 15, or 30-day intervals. ARI scores also showed no significant differences between groups (P = 0.370).
conclusionThe application of Proshield Fluoride Varnish, GC MI Varnish, and ROCS Medical Mineral Gel at different time intervals did not affect the shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets. These remineralization agents can be safely used to prevent white spot lesions and caries before orthodontic treatment at time intervals of 1, 15, and 30 days without compromising bond strength. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Proshield FV, GC MI Varnish, and ROCS MMG safely prevent white spot lesions and caries without affecting bracket bond strength.
