title: Evaluation of the bonding of three porcelain repair systems.
abstract: 1. Fractured porcelain bars repaired with Fusion/Concise displayed significantly greater repair strength (p less than .05) than bars repaired with Den-Mat and Cervident. 2. Comparing mean strengths of all samples before and after repair with Fusion/Concise indicated that only 18% of the original strength was regained following repair. 3. The low repair strengths of the tested materials indicate that their use is a temporary clinical procedure.
