Tensile bond strength of a composite resin cement for bonded prosthesis to various dental alloys.
The development of composite resin cements that chemically bond to dental alloys has improved the construction of resin-bonded prostheses. Composite resins can be selected for various situations, but specific clinical situations may require different alloys. This study evaluated the ability of a composite resin cement to bond to various dental alloys of different compositions. Ten pairs of disks for each alloy (two NiCr, two NiCrBe, one CuAl, one gold type IV, and one gold for metal ceramic) were bonded to a composite resin cement after air abrasion was performed with aluminum oxide. The disks were then rinsed in tap water and were ultrasonically cleaned in distilled water for 2 minutes. The tensile tests exhibited greater values for alloys ultrasonically cleaned, and the best results were recorded by NiCr and NiCrBe alloys.
