Cover Story: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely used in diagnostics, but its effects on orthodontic materials remain a concern. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of MRI exposure at 1.5 T and 3 T on the shear bond strength (SBS) and adhesive remnant index (ARI) of different orthodontic bracket types (metal, self-ligating, and ceramic). The findings suggest that high-field MRI (3 T) has a more pronounced effect on SBS, particularly for self-ligating and ceramic brackets. The clinical importance of understanding these results is that both patients and clinicians must be aware of the inevitable changes that occur in SBS during MRI since exposure to high-field MRI may alter bond strength and adhesive failure characteristics. View this paper
