title: Comparison of bond strengths of polymethyl methacrylate and alpha cyanoacrylate.
abstract: A method of fabricating similar methyl methacrylate cylinders was used to produce specimens to test the bond strength of alpha cyanoacrylate and autopolymerizing methyl methacrylate. Each group was tested immediately and after storage in 37 degrees C water bath for 90 days. Statistical analysis supported the finding that the autopolymerizing methyl methacrylate produced a better bond even without undercuts or mechanical retention.
