Abstract:
A laboratory study was conducted to determine the shear bond strength of etched and silane-treated porcelain to enamel and dentin, using resin cements and newer generation adhesive systems. The results of this in vitro study showed excellent bond strength of porcelain to acid-conditioned enamel using a new adhesive system and a resin cement. The study also found strong bonds between etched and silane-treated porcelain and dentin, using several newer generation adhesive systems in conjunction with resin cements. The learning objective of this article is an increased knowledge of the newer generation adhesives with data for material comparison.
