Abstract:
Palladium-based alloys have had a significant import on the fabrication of ceramometal restorations. This article compares the bond strengths of four palladium-based alloys with that of a high-noble alloy. Tests were designed to closely represent clinical situations. Bond strengths of the palladium alloys compared favorably with the high-noble metals; palladium alloys containing up to 2% gold were the best.
