Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of four metal surface treatments on the shear bond strength of reline resin to Ni-Cr alloy. The denture base metal used in this study was Ni-Cr alloy(Ticonium Premium 100, Ticonium Co., U.S.A.). 120 specimens were divided into five metal surface treatments:sandblasting only, MR.BOND(Tokuyama Corp., Japan), Cesead Opaque Primer(Kuraray Co., Japan), METALPRIMER II(GC Corp., Japan)and Super-Bond C&B(Sun Medical Co., Japan) after sandblasting. They were bonded with one of three reline resins: Mild Rebaron(GC Corp., Japan), Mild Rebaron LC(GC Corp., Japan) and Meta Base M(Sun Medical Co.,Japan).Then they were thermocycled 1,000 times at temperature of 4 celsius degrees and 60 celsius degrees. The shear bond strengths were measured using the universal testing machine(Instron,Model 4301, England)with a cross-head speed of 2 mm/min. The results were as follows: 1.All metal primers and adhesive cement significantly improved the bond strength of reline resin to Ni-Cr alloy compared with sandblasted specimens. 2.In Mild Rebaron and Mild Rebaron LC,Cesead Opaque Primer showed the highest bond strength, but the differences among Cesead Opaque Primer,MR.BOND and METALPRIMER II were not significant.The bond strength of Cesead Opaque Primer was significantly different with that of Super-Bond C&B. 3.In Meta Base M,Super-Bond C&B showed the highest bond strength,but there was no difference between Super-Bond C&B and three metal primers. 4.There was no difference in the bond strength between Mild Rebaron and Mild Rebaron LC when metal surface was treated with the same method. 5.The bond strengths of Mild Rebaron and Mild Rebaron LC treated with Cesead Opaque Primer were higher than that of Meta Base M.The bond strengths of Mild Rebaron treated with MR. BOND and METALPRIMER II was higher than that of Meta Base M.However,there was no difference among three reline resins treated with Super-Bond C&B.
