THE EFFECT OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SURFACES TREATMENT ON THE SHEAR BOND STRENGTH OF METAL-RESIN INTERFACE

Abstract

The bond strength of metal-resin interface of a prosthesis is a key factor indetermining the serviceability of that prosthesis. The main objective of this study was todetermine the effect of different surface treatments on the shear bond strength of Ni-Cralloy and heat cured acrylic veneer resin by using two method cycles (water bath andIvomat curing).
