title: Evaluation of primers used for bonding silicone to denture base material.
abstract: 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.
