title: Bond versus rebond strengths of three luting agents for resin-bonded fixed partial dentures.
abstract: Recently, new luting materials have been claimed to have adhesion to metal and tooth structure. This study determined if rebonding the specimens affected their tensile bond strength. Ten samples each of Rexillium III metal cylinders (12 x 6.3 mm) were bonded and rebonded with Comspan Panavia and Super-bond materials. The film thickness was controlled with a micrometer device at 20 microns. The samples were stored for 24 hours in deionized water at 37 degrees C and were then thermocycled for 24 hours and tested for tensile failure on an Instron testing machine. A stereomicroscope was used to determine adhesive/cohesive failure. The results showed a significant difference at p greater than 0.01 in tensile bond strengths (bond versus rebond strength) for all three luting agents. Most of the failures were adhesive in nature.
