title: The bond of two adhesive resins to alumina blasted and heat-treated gold alloy surfaces.
abstract: The purpose of this study was to test in shear mode the bond strengths of two BIS-GMA resin cements bonded to alumina blasted and heat-treated gold alloy surfaces. This was carried out in order to investigate the manufacturer's claim of the superiority of Panavia 21 over Panavia Ex. Alumina blasted gold alloy surfaces were cemented in pairs with either Panavia Ex or Panavia 21 resin cements. Heat-treated gold alloy surfaces were similarly paired. The luted pairs were stored in water at 37 degrees C for 48 h before bond was tested with shearing forces. Although the differences were not statistically significant, it was found that Panavia 21 formed stronger bonds on the alumina blasted surfaces than Panavia Ex. However, Panavia Ex exhibited higher mean strength values than Panavia 21 on the heat-treated surfaces. Not only was this difference statistically significant, but the bond strength values obtained for Panavia Ex on this surface were the highest in the data set. On the basis of bond testing in shear, it would appear that Panavia 21 is inferior to Panavia Ex on heat-treated gold alloy surfaces.
