title: Resin bonding to various alloys by means of the Silicoater MD System.
abstract: The aim of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Silicoater MD System for bonding resin to four different Brazilian alloys. The alloys included the following proprietary materials: Duracast, Durabond II, Palad and Premium. Biobond II, a popular nickel-chromium alloy has been used as control. Dentacolor served as the veneering agent. All specimens were thermo-cycled for 24 hours between 41 degrees and 131 degrees C at a dwell time of one minute per temperature. Shear-bond strengths ranged from 1667 to 2842 psi. Scanning electron microscopic evaluation demonstrated no gap formations at the resin/metal interface for all of the aforementioned systems, the Silicoater MD System demonstrated acceptable retention efficiency in five types of metallic alloys.
