Abstract:Durable adhesion between resin composite cement and Ti prostheses is critical for a long clinical life. A rough surface is a prerequisite for mechanical interlocking and silica-coating followed by silanation for chemical adhesion. Commercially pure grade-2 Ti specimens were modi ed by silica-coating and silanized with an experimental silane blend or two commercially available silane primers. Specimens were assigned randomly: Group-A (control; polished only Ti), Group-B (polished Ti + silica-coating + primers),… Show more
