Abstract:
The bond strength of a composite resin bonded to various dental casting alloys with three adhesive systems--Silicoater, Panavia, and Superbond C&B--was investigated. The metal surfaces were treated solely with aluminum oxide blasting before application of the adhesive. Thermal cycling caused a reduction in bond strength for all combinations of the adhesive systems and alloys, but the Silicoater system recorded the greatest bond strength. The 4-META system was equivalent to Panavia system in bond strengths to most metals and exhibited greater strength with others.
