      One of the important aims in fixed orthodontic treatments is to preserve tooth enamel structure during and after orthodontic treatment and to cause the least enamel loss after debonding of orthodontic brackets [1–3].

      As there was no consensus in the rate of bracket failure between RMGIC and CC, RMGIC can be used in difficult situations where isolation is difficult to maintain such as partially erupted premolars. In bonding with CC, enamel loss occurs during etching as well as during the removal of excess material at the time of debonding which is not the case with RMGIC [30]. The dental materials should be biocompatible.

      Hence, further studies exploring the effect of topical fluoride supplements such as mouth rinses, and gel and varnish applications that will recharge the cements during RME treatment are needed. The previous studies showed that acid etching during bonding and removal of the residual luting agents on the enamel during debonding lead to enamel loss.40,41 GIC and polycarboxylate cement have the advantage of adhering to enamel without acid etching, and GICs were shown to cause less enamel damage at debonding.42
