in this study, porcelain bond strength to three different alloys of gold-base, pd-ag and base-metal were compared and the effect of repeated porcelain sintering on bond strength was evaluated. the obtained results showed best bond strength of porcelain with gold-base alloy. pd-ag and base-metal alloys showed less strength respectively. during repeated sintering of porcelain, bond strength has n...

Background and Aim: Fractured metal-ceramic restorations may be repaired with composite in some cases to postpone the fabrication of a new restoration. Knowledge about the bond strength can help predict the success rate of this treatment modality. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of two types of mechanical surface treatment of metal along with the use of different adhesive systems...

adequate bond strength between glass ionomer cements and composite resin is necessary for the success of the sandwich technique.this study assessed the micro-shear bond strength of composite resin to glass-ionomer cements (gic) using self-etch adhesives with different ph values.one hundred specimens (6×4×2 mm) were made using fuji ii and fuji ii lc gics and treated with different adhesives as f...

introduction: resin cements are generally preferred for cementation of zirconia ceramics. resin bonding of zirconia ceramics cannot be done with the same methods of traditional ceramics because zirconia is a silica-free material. in recent years, many methods have been reported in the literature to provide the resin bonding of zirconia ceramics. the purpose of this in vitro study is to evaluate...

abstract statement of problem: bleaching systems with different concentrations and applications are widely used to improve the visual appearance of the teeth, but one of the complications of these materials is reduction of bond strength for immediately bonding to the bleached enamel. objectives: the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of using different modified hydrogen peroxide bl...

o bjectives: bond strength of composite resin to enamel and dentin of primary teeth is lower than that to permanent teeth; therefore, it may compromise the ad- hesive bonding. new methods, such as laser application have been recently intro- duced for tooth preparation. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of tooth preparation with bur and er:yag laser on shear bond strength of c...

In this study, the concrete-steel bond strength of concrete filled cylindrical steel tubes has been experimentally investigated. 22 short, high strength and normal concrete filled circular steel tubes were tested. Push-out test was carried out as the common method to evaluate the bond carrying capacity. Four different concrete mixes were used in preparing the specimens. The steel tubes were w...
