Abstract :
Flash-free adhesives, as an alternative to the
process of Flash cleanup, which used to be a major part
of conventional adhesive applications, apart from being
an additive step, also tend to leave uneven clumps with
the need for extreme technical expertise.To establish the
status of Flash-free adhesives as an alternative to
conventional adhesive systems for Orthodontic brackets.
A literature search was performed using PubMed,
Google scholar, Science direct, Lilacs and Grey
literature using MeSH terms- Flash-free adhesives,
Orthodontic brackets, fixed appliances. Out of 91
articles, 30 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility,
and then four were taken for systematic review. This
review was then reported according to the PRISMA
guidelines. While compared to conventional adhesives,
Flash-free adhesives are more effective in treating
orthodontic brackets because of a reduction in the
accumulation of plaque control and demineralization.
The study concludes that it reduces the extent of
accumulation of plaque control by eliminating excess
adhesive and reducing bracket failures. The use of flashfree adhesives is more effective in the treatment of
orthodontic brackets.
