Abstract

The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effect of functional monomers with phosphorus on bonding durability to titanium. Three metal conditioners (Alloy Primer, AP; Metal Link, ML; Eyesight Opaque Primer, EP) were assessed. The functional monomers for base metal are 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogenphosphate (MDP) for the AP, 6-methacryloxyhexyl phosphonoacetate (MHPA) for the ML, and methacrylatephosphate (MP) for the EP. Cast disk specimens made of high-purity titanium (T-Alloy H) were air-abraded with 70μm alumina, primed with three conditioners, and then bonded with an acrylic resin adhesive (Super-Bond C&B). Shear bond strengths were determined both before and after thermocycling (20, 000 cycles). Before thermocycling, the shear bond strengths for the AP and ML groups were significantly higher than those for the EP and unprimed (defined as control) groups (p<0.05). The AP group exhibited significantly higher bond strength than the ML group after thermocycling (p<0.05). Significant difference was not found between the EP and the unprimed groups regardless of thermocycling application (p>0.05).

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of pretreatment on the bonding durability between titanium casting and two acrylic adhesives. Cast titanium disk specimens treated with four polymer-metal bonding systems as follow: 1) air-abraded with 50-70 μm alumina, 2) 1)+Alloy Primer, 3) 1)+M.L. Primer and 4) tribochemical silica/silane coating system (Rocatec System). The specimens were bonded with M bond or Super-bond C&B adhesive. The shear bond strengths were determined before and after thermocycling (20,000 cycles). The surface characteristics after polishing, and for the 1) and 4) preparations were determined. The bond strengths for all combinations significantly decreased after thermocycling. The combination of Super-bond C&B adhesive and 2) led to significantly higher bond strength than the other preparations after thermocycling. The maximum height of the profile parameters for the polishing group was lower than other preparations.

The purpose of the current study was to examine the effectiveness of organic sulfur compounds on bonding durability between silver-palladium-copper-gold alloy and acrylic adhesive. The Metal Link (ML) and V-Primer (VP) primers were assessed; the ML primer contains10-methacryloyloxydecy1-6, 8-dithiooctanoate (MDDT) for noble metal and6-methacryloxyhexylphosphonoacetate (MHPA) for base metal in acetone, while the VP includes 6-(4-vinylbenzyl-n-propyl) amino-1, 3, 5-triazine-2, 4-dithione (VTD) in acetone. After air-abrasion with alumina, cast disk specimens made of silver-palladium-cupper-gold alloy were primed and bonded with different acrylic adhesives (Multi-Bond or Super-Bond C&B). Unprimed specimens were also prepared as controls for each adhesive. Regarding the Super-Bond adhesive, both primers had significant effects on the post-thermocycling (100, 000cycles) shear bond strengths. Concerning the Multi-Bond adhesive, the post-thermocycling strength for the ML primer was not statistically (p>0.05) different from that for the unprimed group.

The present study was conducted to examine the effect of the addition of a dimethacrylate to resin cements on bond strength between titanium and resin after thermocycling. Titanium disks, polished and treated with a phosphate monomer, were bonded to acrylic rods using two types of experimental resin cements. The cements were composed of methyl methacrylate (MMA) containing a tributylborane initiator and 0-10 wt% of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) and two types of polymer component of hard poly (MMA) or soft fluoropolymer (2-6F). The bonded specimens were subjected to a thermocycling test in water and then to tensile strength testing. The addition of 5% or more dimethacrylate monomer to the two MMA-based resin cements caused a drastic decrease in bond strength to the metal after the thermocycling test. The resin prepared with soft 2-6F as a polymer component was significantly more durable than the rigid type resin based on PMMA. However, even a 1% addition of ECDMA to the 2-6F resin resulted in a significant decrease in durability.

The adhesive bonding of titanium was evaluated with the use of a metal primer and three types of self-curing luting agent. The primer contained 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (MDP). One luting agent was a composite material that contained the MDP monomer in its liquid part. The other luting agent was based on methyl methacrylate (MMA), initiated with tri-n-butylborane derivative (TBB), and contained 4-methacryloxyethyl trimellitate anhydride (4-META). The MMA-TBB resin without 4-META was used for the control. Pure titanium metal specimens were bonded with various combinations. Shear bond strengths were determined after repeated thermocycles in water. Both MDP and 4-META were effective in bonding titanium. The decrease in bond strength was minimum when the titanium was primed with MDP and then bonded with the TBB-initiated resins.

Fifty-one patients who had been provided with 104 Dentacolor veneered titanium copings/pontics were recalled after periods varying between 51 and 72 months. Fourty-two patients with 85 units-67 crowns and 18 pontics-attended. In this retrospective study the condition of the veneering material was rated by dentists who had performed the treatment. Seven units exhibited Dentacolor fractures and one obvious discoloration of the veneering material. These eight units correspond to a failure rate of 9.4%. The corresponding failure rate after 3 years was 7.1%.

Limited information is available about chemical bonding of cobalt-chromium alloys for resin-retained fixed partial dentures. This study evaluated the effect of acidic primers on the bonding of luting agents joined to a cobalt-chromium alloy. Disk alloy specimens were bonded with eight combinations of five primers and two luting agents. Shear bond strengths were determined before and after thermocycling. The effect of priming on bond strength varied among the combinations of primer and luting agent. In particular, after thermocycling three groups demonstrated greater bond strengths than the other groups did. These were (1) specimens treated with a phosphate-methacrylate primer (Cesead Opaque Primer), (2) specimens bonded with an adhesive resin (Super-Bond Opaque), or (3) a combination of both.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of acidic primers on bonding between methacrylic resins and SUS 316 stainless steel. The primers were single liquid metal conditioners containing either a phosphate monomer (Cesead opaque primer, CO; Metal primer, MP) or a carboxylic monomer (Super-Bond liquid, SB; Acryl bond, AB; MR bond, MR). Disk metal specimens were air-abraded with alumina followed by priming. The disks were bonded with a methacrylic resin using a brush-dip technique (Super-Bond C & B, CB or Repairsin, RE). Specimens were thermocycled in water and bond strengths were determined. Shear bond strengths after the thermocycling were 11.9 MPa for CO-CB, 7.6 MPa for CO-RE, 4.9 MPa for SB-RE, 3.9 MPa for MP-RE, 3.3 MPa for AB-RE, 2.5 MPa for MR-RE, 1.9 MPa for None-CB, and 0 MPa for None-RE. The two systems primed with CO primer showed greater bond strengths than the other groups (P < 0.05). Of the two systems conditioned with CO primer, CB resin demonstrated higher value bond strength as compared with RE resin (P < 0.05). Among the systems examined, CO primer used together with CB resin exhibited greater bond strength to SUS 316 stainless steel than other systems after the ageing test. Reduction in bond strength by thermocycling, however, was remarkable for all groups.

This study evaluated the effects of four adhesive primers on the shear bond strength of a self curing resin to cobalt-chromium alloy. The adhesive primers Acryl Bond (AB), Cesead Opaque Primer (COP), Metal Primer II (MPII), and MR Bond (MRB) were used. A brass ring placed over the casting alloy disk surface nonprimed or primed with each primer was filled with the self-curing methyl methacrylate polymethyl methacrylate resin. The specimens were stored in water at 37 degrees C for 24 hours and then alternately immersed in water baths at 4 degrees C and 60 degrees C for 1 minute each for up to 20,000 thermal cycles before shear mode testing at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. All the primers examined improved the shear bond strength between the resin and cobalt chromium alloy compared with nonprimed specimens before thermal cycling. However, after 20,000 thermal cycles, the bond strengths of resin to cobalt chromium alloy primed with COP or MPII primers were significantly greater than those of specimens primed with AB or MRB primers and nonprimed controls. This study indicated that COP and MPII are effective primers to obtain higher bond strength between resin and cobalt-chromium alloy.

10-Methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (M10P) for use in dentistry has recently been noted as an adhesive monomer contained in a metal primer. Although the treatment of a metal surface with primer before the application of resin is recognized to improve the adhesion between metal and resin, the role of M10P in the adhesion process has not been clarified. In this study, infrared reflection absorption (IRA) spectroscopy was employed to study the adsorption structures of M10P as well as 2-methacryloyloxyethyl dihydrogen phosphate (M2P) on evaporated silver substrates. The IRA spectra of the self-assembled films of those phosphates verified the adsorption of M10P or M2P on silver substrates from the methyl methacrylate solutions (5 x 10(-5) mol/L). The saturation coverages of M10P and M2P were completed after about 50 and 25 min, respectively. Two characteristic bands around 980 and 1080 cm-1 due to the PO(2-)3 stretching vibrations were observed. These results indicate that the phosphate groups of both monomers are adsorbed to silver surfaces in the dissociated form, -PO(2-)3, and form hydrophobic monolayers. The monolayer of M10P was found to be more durable against thermocycling in water than that of M2P by IRA measurements. The roles of M10P in the metal primer are presumably to form such a monolayer with appreciable durability and to promote polymerization with resin monomers.

When resin-bonded prostheses are constructed with titanium, they must be strongly bonded with luting materials for the prostheses to withstand the oral environment over the long term. However, limited information is available about the bond durability between luting materials and titanium. This study determined whether a phosphate and two thiophosphate primers increase bond strength and durability between a commercially available pure titanium and four luting agents. Three primers and four luting agents were divided into three groups according to the type of acidic monomers: carboxylic acid derivatives (4-META, 4-AET, and MAC10), a phosphoric acid derivative (MDP), and a thiophosphoric acid derivative (MEPS). Disk specimens were bonded with 16 combinations of 3 primers and 4 luting agents, including 4 controls. Shear bond strengths were determined after 1-day immersion in water and after thermocycling for 100,000 cycles. Bond strengths were influenced by thermocycling, primer, luting agent, and their combinations. After thermocycling, the groups that demonstrated the highest bond strengths were six combinations of two primers (Cesead Opaque Primer and Metal Primer II) and three luting agents (Imperva Dual, Panavia 21, and Super-Bond C&B).

Poor chemical bonding of a denture base resin to cast titanium frameworks often introduces adhesive failure and increases microleakage. This study examined the shear bond strengths of a denture base resin to cast pure titanium, Ti-6Al-4V, and a cobalt-chromium alloy using various adhesive primers. Disks (6.0 mm diameter, 2.5 mm thick) were cast of the 3 alloys. The disk surfaces were grit-blasted with 50 microm alumina and treated with 5 different metal primers (Metal Primer II ¿MP]; Cesead Opaque primer ¿OP]; Meta Base ¿MB]; experimental primer ¿EP]; Siloc bonding system ¿SI]). A denture base resin (Palapress Vario) was then applied on the disks with hole-punched sticky tape (bonding area of 5.0 mm) and a Teflon (PTFE, New Age Industries Inc, Willow Grove, Pa.) ring (6.0 mm diameter x 2.0 mm thick). Specimens without primer were also prepared as controls. All specimens were immersed in 37 degrees C water and thermocycled up to 2,000 cycles. Shear bond strength values were determined at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. Data were statistically analyzed using 3-way ANOVA, followed by 1-way ANOVA and the Scheffé multiple range test. Primers significantly (P <.05) improved shear bond strengths of denture base resin to all metals, among which no significant differences were found. Specimens primed with OP, MP, and EP showed higher bond strengths than did those primed with MB. After thermocycling, the bond strengths of MB and SI decreased substantially; MB showed the least durability (22.8% to 35.5% decrease) among the primers. The application of 5 primers significantly improved the shear bond strengths of a denture base resin to cast CP titanium, Ti-6Al-4V, and Co-Cr alloy. OP and MP primers exhibited greater bond strength and durability than did MB and SI.

The aim of the present study was to compare titanium-base and resin-base maxillary complete dentures. In 13 patients with a maxillary complete denture with a titanium base (group I) and in 12 patients with a maxillary complete denture with a resin base (group II), the (a) patient's adaptation to the denture, (b) denture retention and (c) appearance of the mucosa under the denture were evaluated. In all cases, the adaptation was assessed with a questionnaire, while the retention and the appearance of the mucosa were assessed by clinical examination. None of the three measures considered (adaptation, retention and mucosa appearance) differed significantly between patients with titanium-base dentures and patients with resin-base dentures. Titanium bases are suitable for dentures likely to be subject to severe mechanical stresses (as in the case of maxillary complete dentures opposing natural teeth), and in patients who show hypersensitivity responses to other materials.

The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the adhesive performance of metal conditioners and a surface modification system when used for bonding between a prosthetic composite material and a titanium alloy. Eight metal conditioners (Acryl Bond, All-Bond 2 Primer B, Alloy Primer, Ces II Opaque Primer, Eye Sight Opaque Primer, Metafast Bonding Liner, Metal Primer II, and MR Bond) and a bonding system (Siloc) were assessed. Cast disk specimens made of a titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-7Nb, T-Alloy Tough) were either primed with one of the eight primers or treated with the Siloc system and bonded with a light-activated prosthetic composite material (Artglass). Shear bond strengths were determined both before and after thermocycling (4 C-60 C, 60 s each, 20,000 cycles) for evaluation of the durability of the bonds. The results showed that the Siloc-treated group recorded the greatest post-thermocycling bond strength, followed by the two groups conditioned with the Cesead II Opaque Primer and Alloy Primer agents, both of which contain an identical hydrophobic phosphate-methacrylate functional monomer.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the surface preparation effects of eight metal conditioners and an adhesive system on bonding between a prosthodontic composite material and cast titanium. Eight primers designed for conditioning base metal alloys (Acryl Bond, All-Bond 2 Primer B, Alloy Primer, Cesead II Opaque Primer, Eye Sight Opaque Primer, Metafast Bonding Liner, Metal Primer II, and MR Bond) as well as a surface modification technique (Siloc) were assessed. Disk specimens cast from titanium (T-Alloy H) were either primed with one of the eight primers or treated with the Siloc system, and then bonded with a light-activated composite material (Artglass). Bond durability was evaluated by thermocycling (4 and 60 degrees C, 1 min each, 20, 000 cycles). After thermocycling, two groups either primed with the Cesead II Opaque Primer material or treated with the Siloc system exhibited significantly greater bond strength (20.0 and 19.0 MPa) than the other groups (0.2-12.6 MPa, P < 0.05). These two systems are considered to be useful for improving bonding between the titanium and the composite material tested.

The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the adhesive performance of metal conditioners when used for bonding between auto-polymerizing methacrylic resins and a titanium alloy. Disk specimens were cast from a titanium-aluminum-niobium (Ti-6Al-7Nb) alloy, air-abraded with alumina, and bonded with 24 combinations of eight metal conditioners (Acryl Bond, ACB; All-Bond 2 Primer B, ABB; Alloy Primer, ALP; Cesead II Opaque Primer, COP; Metafast Bonding Liner, MBL; Metal Primer II, MPII; MR Bond, MRB; Super-Bond liquid, SBL) and three autopolymerizing methacrylic resins (Repairsin, RE; Super-Bond C & B, SB; Tokuso Rebase; TR). Unprimed specimens were used as controls. Shear bond strengths were determined both before and after thermocycling (4-60 degrees C, 20, 000 cycles). The ALP-SB group recorded the greatest post-thermocycling bond strength (21.8 MPa) followed by the COP-SB group (17.8 MPa) and the MPII-SB group. The post-thermocycling bond strengths of the unprimed-SB group and the ALP-RE group were statistically comparable. No significant differences were found among the nine TR resin groups, and these groups showed the lowest bond strength. In conclusion, the use of one of the three conditioners (ALP, COP, and MPII) in combination with the SB resin is recommended for bonding the Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy.

The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the bonding characteristics of super-elastic titanium-nickel (Ti-Ni) alloy castings. Disk specimens were cast from a Ti-Ni alloy (Ti-50.85Ni mol%) using an arc centrifugal casting machine. High-purity titanium and nickel specimens were also prepared as experimental references. The specimens were air-abraded with alumina, and bonded with an adhesive resin (Super-Bond C & B). A metal conditioner containing a phosphate monomer (Cesead II Opaque Primer) was also used for priming the specimens. Post-thermocycling average bond strengths (MPa) of the primed groups were 41.5 for Ti-Ni, 30.4 for Ti and 19.5 for Ni, whereas those of the unprimed groups were 21.6 for Ti, 19.3 for Ti-Ni and 9.3 for Ni. Application of the phosphate conditioner elevated the bond strengths of all alloy/metals (P < 0.05). X-ray fluorescence analysis revealed that nickel was attached to the debonded resin surface of the resin-to-nickel bonded specimen, indicating that corrosion of high-purity nickel occurred at the resin-nickel interface. Durable bonding to super-elastic Ti-Ni alloy castings can be achieved with a combination of a phosphate metal conditioner and a tri-n-butylborane-initiated adhesive resin.
