The adhesion evolution in dentistry, currently, has suggested the nanoparticles addition to the composites in order to improve their mechanical properties. The aim of this study was to compare direct and indirect bracket bonding and to evaluate possible changes due to carbon nanotubes (CN) addition to two adhesives used in indirect bonding by examining the following variables: shear bond strength (SBS), bond failure location and microleakage in the enamel/composite interface. One hundred and eighty bovine incisors underwent 37% phosphoric acid etching and were randomly divided into 9 groups (n=20): (1) direct bonding with Transbond XT adhesive; (2) indirect bonding with Sondhi adhesive; (3), (4) and (5) indirect bonding with Sondhi to which CN at 0.5%, 0.25% and 0.05% concentrations were included; (6) indirect bonding with Concise adhesive; (7), (8) and (9) indirect bonding with Concise to which CN at 0.5%, 0.25% and 0.05% concentrations were included. Transbond XT resin was used in all groups. Maximum SBS was measured with a mechanical testing machine, the location of bond failure was evaluated using the Adhesive Remnant Index (ARI) and the microleakage was measured utilizing scores. One-way analysis of variance followed by the Tukey test (P<.05) was used to compare the SBS among groups, and the differences in ARI and microleakage scores were evaluated using the Kruskal-Wallis test (P<.05). The SBS in group 1 was statistically higher than groups 2 to 6 (P<.05). ARI analysis did not reveal statistically significant differences among the groups (P>.05). In CN groups, there was no statistical difference (P>.05) in SBS or ARI. About the microleakage in the enamel/composite interface, there was a statistically significant difference in group 1 compared to groups 2 and 6, and in group 4 compared to groups 3 and 5 (P<.05). The direct technique was superior to the indirect technique in SBS and microleakage. CN addition to Concise and Sondhi, at the concentrations used, did not significantly increase SBS, ARI or microleakage.
