title: Effect of metal priming agents on bond strength of resin-modified glass ionomers joined to gold alloy.
abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro the shear bond strength to a gold alloy of RMGICs combined with three metal priming agents. Gold alloy was primed with one of the following materials: Alloy Primer, Metal Primer II, or Metaltite. Non-treated group was considered as the control. Specimens were bonded with one of the following luting agents: Super-Bond C&B, Vitremer Luting Cement, Fuji Lute, or Xeno Cem Plus. Shear bond strength was then determined. The bond strengths of resin-modified glass ionomer cements primed with the metal priming agents were greater than that of non-treated group, except for the Vitremer Luting Cement-Alloy Primer combination. It was thus concluded that the priming agents employed in this study were substantially effective in improving the bonding of resin-modified glass ionomer cements to gold alloy.
