title: A new method for promoting adhesion between precious metal alloys and dental adhesives.
abstract: A new, simple method of modifying the adherend metal surface by a liquid Ga-Sn alloy (Adlloy) was applied to dental precious and base-metal alloys for adhesion with 4-META adhesive resin. Adhesions of 4-META resin to three other surface states--as-polished, oxidized at high temperature, and electroplated tin--were also performed for comparison with the adhesion on Adlloy-modified surfaces. Bond strength measurements were made, and the durability against water at the adhering interface was evaluated. The Adlloy-modified gold alloys (Type IV and 14 K) and silver-based alloys (Ag-Pd and Ag-Cu) showed not only high bond strengths but also excellent water durability at the adhesion interface. Surface modification by Adlloy, however, did not affect adhesion to Ag-In-Zn and base-metal (SUS, Co-Cr, and Ni-Cr) alloys. Adhesion to the tin-electroplated specimens was comparable with that to the Adlloy-modified specimens.
