The influence of electron beam irradiation on the shear bond strength of glass-reinforced frameworks and veneer composites.
The bond between glass fibre framework and veneer composite can be achieved by silane coupling agents or by monomers that penetrate into a polymer network. However, it has been clinically demonstrated that his bond can fail. This study investigated whether electron beam irradiation improved the bond strength of fibre-frameworks and veneer composite with and without additional coupling agents.
