Abstract:
This article reports on a study of the shear bond strength of porcelain repaired with any of several currently available dentin bonding systems and composite resin. The authors describe the benefits of the use of silane and the decrease in shear bond strength values after thermocycling. The results should be helpful to any practitioner confronted with a restoration that is a candidate for intraoral repair of fractured porcelain.
