OBJECTIVES: Evaluate the ability of strontium fluoride on bond strength and enamel integrity after incorporation within orthodontic adhesive system as a delivery vehicle. METHODS: Experimental orthodontic adhesive system Transbond™ XT were modified with 1% Sr2+ , 0.5% SrF2 , 1% strontium, 0.5% Sr2+ , 1% F- , 0.5% F- , and no additions were control. Mixing of formulation was monitored using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Small-molecule drug-discovery suite was used to gain insights into Sr2+ , F- , and SrF2 binding...
