Abstract

PURPOSE
In this study, we evaluated the bond-strength between a few metal ceramic-alloys and veneered-porcelain and found if the bond strength of metal-ceramic alloy with lower gold content than the presently used gold alloy was high enough.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
For this study, after plasticizing porcelain only for gold alloy, metal specimen was fabricated using Ni-Cr alloy and gold alloy with different gold content. Three point flexural test were performed to measure their bond-strength.
RESULTS
The bonding strength of Group 1 to porcelain was 40.62 +/- 3.32 MPa, which was the highest (P<.05). In sequence of decreasing value, Group 2 (75%) was 37.47 +/- 1.57 MPa, Group 3 (52%) 35.85 +/- 1.48 MPa, Group 4 (51.5%) 35.04 +/- 1.34 MPa, Group 5 (32%) 33.17 +/- 1.62 MPa, Group 6 (10%) 30.75 +/- 1.21 MPa. Bonding strength of Group 3 and Group 4 to porcelain did not show statistically significant difference with comparison to that of Group 5 (Duncan's test, P>.05), while there was a significant difference between that of Group 2, Group 3 and Group 4 and that of Group 6 (Duncan's test, P<.05). The bonding strength between gold alloy and porcelain increased according to the content of gold. In all experimental groups showed higher value than 25 MPa, which is the least value recommended by ISO 9693.
CONCLUSION
In all groups, bonding strength was higher than 25 MPa, which is the least value of ISO9693. Therefore, it is considered that metal gold alloy with low gold content is clinically usable.
