Bond strength of composite to metal mediated by metal adhesive promoters.
The effectiveness of three metal primers in promoting the adhesive bond of composites to alloy systems commonly used in making ceramometal restorations was investigated. The results of this study indicated that the bond strengths attained with these tested metal primers are in general not high. Further research is needed for the development of a metal primer with an improved adhesive strength. Until then, dentists should continue to use the current methods of undercutting and roughening the metal surface in order to achieve additional retention.
