title: Metal-resin bonding.
abstract: Achieving an effective and lasting bond of resin to dental alloys is an essential component in today's restorative dentistry. This paper reviews the history of metal/resin bonding, outlines different surface treatments of base and noble alloys and compares some of the resin luting materials used. The clinical application of metal/resin bonding to repair porcelain veneered fixed prostheses and the potential of bonded amalgams is discussed.
