Silica Coating Methods For Resin-To-Metal Bonding, W. Iramaneerat, R. Panichuttra

Chulalongkorn University Dental Journal

In Dentistry, bonding between resin cement and metal alloy plays an important role in many clinical applications. From several studies, the failures at resin-metal interface are the most frequently reported. Numerous methods are available for bonding resin to alloy. The sillica coating methods have been developed to improve chemo - mechanical retention. Three different silica coating methods were described. The original Silicoater system is a pyrolytic deposition of an intermediate SiOx layer to the alloy surface. The Rocatec system is a tribochemical silica coating process, including two sandblasting steps to the alloy surface. The Silicoater MD system is a thermal …
