title: Adhesive 4-META/MMA-TBB opaque resin with poly(methyl methacrylate)-coated titanium dioxide.
abstract: An adhesive opaque resin for veneering on cast metal was developed with 4-methacryloxyethyl trimellitate anhydride and poly (methyl methacrylate)-coated titanium dioxide prepared by aqueous phase polymerization. The opaque resin was a modified 4-META/MMA-TBB resin. The powder consisted of 20% of the encapsulated material and 80% PMMA instead of pure PMMA powder. This resin hides the metal color when the thickness of the resin is as thin as 50 microns. The opaque resin bonded strongly to both cobalt-chromium alloy and visible-light-cured veneering resin. This self-curing opaque resin is applicable not only for bonding veneering resin to an alloy surface but also for bonding fixed partial dentures to enamel surfaces.
