Abstract

This study investigated the shear bond strength of a new 4-META adhesive cement (C & B-Metabond) to dentin and Ni-Cr-Be alloy (Rexillium III). Fifteen human molar teeth had dentin bonding sites prepared by grinding away the enamel on a water-cooled abrasive wheel to a 600 grit. Fifteen metal alloy specimens were cast, ground to a 600 grit, and air abraded with 50 micron alumina. The 4-META cement was applied to the dentin and metal in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. After 24 hours in water at 37 degrees C, the shear bond strengths were recorded. The mean bond strength to dentin and the metal alloy was 20.1 megapascals.
