Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Enlight (ormco)  Enlight Bonding System Highly filled light-cure adhesive. Bis-GMA resin for superb handling characteristics, easy cleaning. Highly active initiater system supports reduced cure times. Total Duration:1 year 
Comparator Agent  filtek supreme (3M Espe) flowable composite  filtek supreme flowable composites provided satisfactory Shearbond strenght and wire pullout values, comparable to a standard orthodontic resin, and therefore can be used as an alternative for direct bonding of lingual retainers. Total Duration:1 year 
Intervention  Tetric N flow (ivoclar vivadent)  Tetric N-Flow is a light-curing, radiopaque flowable nano-hybrid composite based on nano-optimized technology. Tetric N-Flow is based on 10 years of tradition and the clinical performance of Tetric Flow. Because of the material’s outstanding wetting ability even in areas that are hard to reach, it is particularly suitable for use as a cavity liner and for small cavities of any kind. At the same time, the material offers outstanding stability and is thus ideal for Class V restorations. Total Duration:1 year 
Comparator Agent  Transbond XT(3Munitek)  Transbond XT light cure adhesive bonds metal and ceramic brackets to tooth surfaces providing dentists with additional working time for accurate bracket placement. Trans bond XT adhesive’s quick cure provides for immediate arch wire tie-in so patients and staffs can experience shorter bonding appoinments Total Duration:1 year

Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
Retention is an important phase after the completion of orthodontic treatment.In some cases,it is necessory to keep th lingual retainer in place for a long time to prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions.All factors priorly researched and found to affect the in vivo stability or survival of fixed lingual retainers includind the usage of liquis resin,the type of different wire used,and the adhesive’s polymerisation technique throughout the time of bonding procedure.Relapse is frequently the result of failure of retainer or loss.Retainer failure can happen with wire fracture,at the enamel-composite contact,or at the composite-wire interface.The enamel-composite contact has been the source of the majority of recorded failures,and wire fracture are known to be directly correlates with the retainer’s age;the longer it remains in place,the risk of breakage wiil be higher.There are two types of fixed lingual retainer failure;partial and complete.The partial failure is indicated by attachement loss from one or more teeth,wherein full failure is indicated by completly falling of the teeth.complete failure is prefereable from a clinical standpoint to partial failure since the latter may be neglected by patient and lead to a return of the teeth back to their pretreatment state.This sudy is proposed to be conducted to compare bond strength of fixed lingual retainer with four different adhesive’s that is Tertic N flow(ivoclar),3M (Espe supreme flowable composite).Enlight ormco,Transbond XT light cured composite.
