A qualitative study for the bond and color of ceramometals. Part I.
A shear testing method was devised to study and evaluate the effect of various and repeated firing cycles, types of alloy, and brand of porcelain relative to the color and bond strength of ceramometal complexes specifically at the opaque porcelain-metal interface and the opaque-body porcelain juncture. Two alloys and two porcelain brands were chosen on the basis of their widespread clinical use and the marked contrast between them. An increase of the firing temperature significantly raised the bond strength for all alloy-porcelain combinations.
