Tensile bond strengths of composites to a gold-palladium alloy after thermal cycling.

Statement Of Problem: Many different materials and methods have been used to fabricate or repair veneer facings with composites, but only a few of these have been studied.

Purpose: This study compared the tensile bond strengths of composites to a gold-palladium alloy with the use of several surface treatment methods.

Material And Methods: Forty alloy specimens were cast in Eclipse (52% gold and 37.
