Abstract
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate interfacial bond strength between different types of silicone facial elastomers and denture resins.
MATERIAL AND METHODS : The facial materials studied were Cosmesil and Ideal and SR 3/60,SR 3/60 Quick and Triad were included in the group of denture resins. The " overlap-joint" model was used to evaluate bond strength and the samples were placed in tension until failure.The bonding surfaces were treated with a primer.
Ten samples for each silicone/resin group were tested. The results were subjected to two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test for comparison.
RESULTS: The results showed that bond strength was affected by the type of silicone and denture resin. Interaction was also noted. Bond strength ranged from 0.026 to 0.229 MPa.
CONCLUSION: Cosmesil condensation type silicone showed higher bond strength with the three different types of denture resins, compared to Ideal addition silicone, keeping other variables associated with silicone/resin bond fixed.
