title: The effect of silane on shear bond strengths of etched cast metal restorations.
abstract: This study investigated the effect of a silane on the shear bond strength between an electrolytically etched Ni-Cr alloy and bovine enamel. The effect of time delay after etching and after silaning was also investigated. The results showed there to be a significant increase in bond strength when silane was used and bonding carried out immediately following silaning. However, a delay in bonding of even one hour after silaning significantly reduced bond strength. For periods up to one week, delay in silaning after etching had no effect on bond strength.
