title: Composite inlay/luting resin bond strength--surface treatment effects.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the effect of surface treatments on the bond strength between two resin' composite inlay materials and their luting materials.
  
  
  METHODS
  A notched disc specimen design was used to evaluate the torque to fracture: test specimens consisting of two half notched disc specimens bonded together, controls consisting of complete resin composite material specimens.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Both surface treatment and bond resin application had a significant influence on interfacial bond strength--the torque required to initiate failure being expressed as a percentage of the value required to fracture the control specimens.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The results allow conclusions to be drawn regarding the attainment of optimal bonding between the resin composite inlays and luting materials investigated.
