The current evidence suggests no difference between the types of material s after 12 months but favours composite resin adhesives after a > 14-month period .
The clinical relevance of this study is that RM-GIC may have the same clinical debonding ( failure ) rate as composite resin adhesives after 1 year when used for bonding of orthodontic brackets
The aim of this systematic review was to establish whether the clinical debonding ( failure ) rates of orthodontic brackets bonded either with resin-modified glass ionomer ( RM-GIC ) or with composite resin adhesive  are the same .
An in vivo investigation into the use of resin-modified glass poly(alkenote) cements as orthodontic bonding agents.
The aim of this study was to investigate the in vivo bonding of orthodontic brackets using two resin-modified glass poly(alkenoate ) cements and to compare them with a conventional light-cured diacrylate bonding agent .  Twenty consecutive patients attending for bond up appointments took part in this r and omized cross-mouth control study . Alternate quadrants were bonded with either Fuji Ortho LC or 3 M Multi-Cure . Transbond [ Adhesive Pre-Coated Brackets ( APC ) ] acted as the control in the other quadrants . Failed brackets were rebonded with the same material . Bond failure rates were collected over a 1-year period . The bond failure rates over 1 year were 7.2 per cent for Transbond ( APC ) , 5.9 per cent for 3 M Multi-Cure , and 5.8 per cent for Fuji Ortho LC . Statistically , there was no significant difference between the bond failure rates of the material s and there was no effect of time . This clinical investigation confirmed the suitability of the resin-modified glass poly(alkenoate ) cements under test as orthodontic bonding agents
