The "Thomas" indirect technique for bracket attachment produces an interface not present in direct techniques, that is, an aged composite-sealant interface. Our primary goal was to determine if a weakened interface was produced by a modified (sealant was mixed prior to placement of brackets) Thomas indirect technique when the composite was aged for 7 days. The enamel-bracket system was investigated in vitro by comparison of shear bond strengths for metal and ceramic brackets bonded to bovine teeth by a direct and indirect method. Nearly all specimens failed at the bracket-composite interface and, subsequently, no difference was found between specimens placed by direct or indirect methods. No evidence was found to suggest that an aged composite would predispose the enamel-bracket system to fail at the sealant-composite interface. The ceramic brackets used in this investigation had lower bond strengths then metal ones, but the breaking loads were similar.
