The bond strength of composite laminate veneers
Abstract:
An in vitro model has been developed simulating a composite laminate veneer restoration, along with methods to mimic the environmental conditions to which these restorations are subjected in vivo. Fifty composite laminate specimens were prepared: Ten were left untreated as controls, and 40 were exposed to simulated environmental conditioning. The tensile bond strength of the veneer-to-composite interface was significantly reduced by both thermal and humidity cycling, which may explain the increasing prevalence of marginal failure and staining which occurs as these restorations age in vivo.

Chemical Bonds
Atoms participate in a chemical bond formation to acquire a completed valence-shell electron configuration similar to that of the noble gas nearest to it in atomic number. Ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds are some of the important types of chemical bonds. Bond energy and bond length determine the strength of a chemical bond.
Types of Chemical Bonds
An ionic bond is formed due to electrostatic attraction between cations and anions. Often, the ions are formed by the transfer of electrons from...

Strength of Cement
For compressive strength tests, ASTM C 109-05 standards prescribe a cement-sand mix ratio of 1:2.75 and a water/cement ratio of 0.485 for making 2-inch cubes. These cubes are mixed, cast, and cured in saturated lime water at 23°C until testing. Flexural strength testing, outlined in ASTM C...
