Aim: to compare the shear bond strength and adhesive remnant index (IRA) between the composites Concise and Fill Magic Orthodontic. Methods: the sample consisted of 24 cattle permanent low incisors divided in two groups. In the first group 12 brackets were bonded with the Concise composite and in the second group 12 with the Fill Magic Orthodontic composite. The tests of the shear and the evaluation of the ARI were developed with the whole sample. Results and Conclusion: there were not significant statistic differences between the composites in the two evaluated items.
