TY - JOUR AU - Swain, M. V. AB - summary The present study examines the effect of a GoldbonderTM on the adhesion between titanium and porcelain as measured by the strain energy release rate (G) associated with the interfacial fracture of porcelain and titanium. The influence of surface treatment of titanium prior to GoldbonderTM application was also examined. The porcelain side of the specimens was notched to the interface with a thin diamond saw, and then a pre‐crack was made at the metal–porcelain interface by a special jig. The samples were subjected to a four‐point bending test resulting in stable crack extension from which G was calculated. Both the cracked cross‐section of interface and peeled fracture surface were examined with scanning electron microscope (SEM). The mean G values were 81·57 ± 10·34, 46·01 ± 14·83, and 15·98 ± 1·76 J m−2 for the sandblasted surface with the GoldbonderTM, polished surface with the GoldbonderTM, and sandblasted surface with the PastebonderTM, respectively. The G values revealed significant differences (P < 0·01) between GoldbonderTM and PastebonderTM, and between the sandblasted and polished surfaces with GoldbonderTM. The SEM photographs and elemental analysis showed that GoldbonderTM developed both chemical and mechanical bonding to titanium and porcelain.
