measured surface roughness at the 14 day point in their study, and the high-energy sports drink and non-carbonated beverage showed a highly significant difference compared to the control. 12 Similarly, an in vitro study by Navarro et al. which measured bond strength, bracket microleakage, and adhesive remnant on intact and sealed enamel in 15 days also resulted in more roughness and a change in the hardness of the enamel, which led to the decreased bond strength and microleakage. 14 Thus, the present study results are comparable to the previous results.
