Abstract

The acid etching process is required in orthodontic when attaching brackets to the enamel. It will result in microporosity so that the adhesive material enters the structure, and micromechanical retention occurs, which increases the adhesion strength. However, this process causes roughness and hydroxyapatite mineral loss. Removing orthodontic brackets and cleaning the remnants of adhesive material also cause roughness. Hence, Novamin is a synthetic mineral with the same structure as dental minerals, which can help remineralize damaged tooth structures. To determine the potential application of Novamin as a remineralization material to improve enamel roughness after bracket removal. Twenty-five premolar teeth were divided into five groups. Group I (control), II (etching, bracket mounting with Biofix), III (same as group II + Novamin), IV (etching, bracket mounting with Fuji Ortho), and V (same as group IV + Novamin) with 20 seconds of LED polymerization. All samples were placed in artificial saliva for seven days, the brackets were removed, and the remaining adhesive material was cleaned. Novamin application was for 3 minutes every 12 hours for ten days. Changes in the enamel surface were seen using SEM, and the roughness was tested using SR Tester KR220. Data analysis was tested using One-Way ANOVA. Surface roughness showed a significant difference in each group, with a p-value of 0,000 (p<0.05). The highest roughness occurred in group I. There were significant differences between groups II with III and groups IV with V. Novamin plays a role in the remineralization process and affects reducing enamel surface roughness after orthodontic bracket debonding.
