Effect of opaque porcelain application on strength of bond to silver-palladium alloys.
The opaque porcelain layer for porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations is critical for success. This investigation examined opaque porcelain application using one- and two-layer techniques with respect to their effect on the strength of bond to three silver-palladium alloys. There were no significant differences in the flexural bond strengths of the three alloys for the one- and two-layer opaque application techniques. With respect to bond strength, these results afford flexibility in the choice of the one- or two-layer techniques.
