title: In vitro bond strength of repaired amalgam with adhesive bonding systems.
abstract: The in vitro tensile bond strengths of Amalgambond and All-Bond were evaluated as adhesive systems for the repair of amalgam (Valiant Ph.D.) by two repair amalgams (Valiant or Valiant Ph.D.). Other variables evaluated were two surface finishes (SiC finish and sandblasted) and two storage conditions (37 degrees C, 24 h, and thermocycled). The Amalgambond bond was not reliable. All-Bond bonded amalgam to amalgam with Liner-FX. Bond strengths ranged from 3.4 to 8.8 MPa. The highest bond strengths were achieved with a sandblasted surface repaired with Valiant. Thermocycling did not affect bond strength.
