The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare by means of shear bond strength test, the performance of bracket bonding on porcelain, using different kinds of curing-light (Ortholux ™ LED and Apollo 95E®), with different polymerization times. 90 ceramic discs were divided into six groups according to the source of light and exposure time. For LED groups, 10, 15 and 20 seconds were applied while for PAC groups 4, 6 and 9 seconds. After 24 hours of distilled water at 37°C storage, samples were submitted to the shear bond strength test using a universal testing machine (Emic DL 2000®) with a crosshead speed of 0,5 mm/min. According to the ANOVA and Tukey tests, there were statiscal differences between the groups (p<0,05). There was no statistical difference between LED groups when compared to PAC 6s and 9s groups. The 4s PAC group showed lower average shear bond strength when compared to the other groups, therefore this exposure time should be not indicated for bracket bonding on ceramic surfaces. According to Kruskal-Wallis test, there was statistical difference on the Adhesive Remnant Index (ARI) scores’ distribution between the groups (p<0,05). The groups LED 20s, PAC 6s and PAC 9s predominantly showed 0 index. On the other hand, the groups LED 10s and PAC 4s showed mainly score 3. The LED 20s group showed a major incidence of fractures on the porcelain surface (53,3%). Generally the most frequent ARI index obtained was 3 (36,7%) followed by index 0 (35,6%), with no statistical difference between them. These results suggest that high intensity light sources such as Ortholux ™ LED and Apollo 95E® are effective on the polymerization of Transbond XT®, reducing the curing time necessary for bonding of metallic brackets on porcelain surfaces.
