title: [Titanium in adhesive bridge technic: adhesive-metal-bond].
abstract: The application of titanium as bridge and crown metal suggests itself because of its suitable mechanical qualities and its stability against corrosion. The frequent use in medicine proofs its excellent biocompatibility. Because of the problematical casting requirements titanium has not been used very often in dentistry. As these problems had been solved recently, the question is whether titanium is suitable as resin- bonded bridge material. We compare different surface conditioning systems such as silicoating, tin plating and corrosion. The investigation shows that these surface pretreatments give stable bond strengthes.
