Influence of Operator, Tool, Dental Loupes, and Tooth Position on Enamel Loss and Composite Remnants After Removal of Composite Attachments for Orthodontic Clear Aligners: An Experimental Study Using 3D Profilometry.
Aligner CA removal induces enamel damage or leaves composite remnants on its surface. The presence of composite remnants is influenced by the type of tool and can be reduced by using dental loupes, which also lowers working time.
