| Abstract: | Four resin veneering materials and four methods of retaining the veneer on metal castings were compared with metal ceramic restoration. Variations in microleakage were noted between the four resin materials retained by mechanical retention beads. When mechanical and chemical modes of a resin and porcelain veneer retention were compared, there was no microleakage with one mechanically and two chemically retained resin groups including one metal ceramic group. The resin materials tested understandably produced substantially lower shear bond strengths than the metal ceramic specimens. Higher shear bond strengths were recorded for the retentive beads than for the resins retained by three chemical bonding techniques. There was no direct correlation between microleakage and shear bond strength. |
