Shear bond strength of veneering composite to high performance polymers

High performance polymers like PEEK (polyetheretherketone) and FRC (fiberreinforced composite) could substitute metallic alloys for removable partial dentures. However, these require aesthetic veneering. This study was to determine the bond strength direct composite. Specimens made of were produced air-abraded (50 μm aluminum-oxide). allocated four experimental groups: Luxatemp Glaze & Bond, Scotchbond Universal, SR Nexco Connect iBond Universal. divided into three subgroups short-term, long-term no artificial aging shear (SBS) evaluated. SBS specimens with showed values between 10.79–14.00 MPa, short-term resulted in 3.78–13.85 MPa after decreased 0–8.75 MPa. measurement 9.83–12.1 without aging, 8.36–11.98 a degradation 4.52–7.82
