Introduction: Orthodontic bracket bond failure is common during orthodontic treatment. Objectives: To evaluate the Shear Bond Strength (SBS) of new orthodontic brackets, and the SBS after reconditioning and repeating the reconditioning procedure for such brackets, with and without bonding; and to evaluate the bond failure rate of new and reconditioned orthodontic brackets during orthodontic treatment. Methods: A total of 120-extracted human premolar teeth and 120 premolar stainless-steel brackets were used and were randomly divided into six groups of 20 each. Five methods of reconditioning were used in each of the first five groups while the last group was used as a control. The six groups (I-VI) were subjected to shear force for half an hour until the brackets debonded. SBS was measured and the methods showing the highest SBS were selected.
