Evaluation of primers used for bonding silicone to denture base material.
Three primers were evaluated to determine their effect on the strength of the bond when Silastic 891 is cured to poly(methylmethacrylate). Silastic cured directly to the poly(methylmethacrylate) without a primer was used as a control. All primers increased the bond strength but one of the primers was definitely superior to the others.
