  • Title: Temperature and humidity: significant factors in resin/enamel bonding.
    Author: Kells BE, Kennedy JG.
    Journal: Eur J Prosthodont Restor Dent; 1995 Dec; 3(6):269-74. PubMed ID: 8603171.
    Abstract:
    This study examined the effects of temperature and humidity variations on the bond strength of sand blasted Ni-Cr-Mo alloy (Talladium) cylinders cemented to etched bovine enamel using composite resin (Panavia Ex). Bonding was carried out in a humidity chamber under varying combinations of temperature (24 degrees C and 37 degrees C), and relative humidity (32% and 85%). After storage in water at 37 degrees C for 24 hours all specimens were shear tested to failure. The results showed that bond failure was consistently cohesive with resin shear strength at 37 degrees C being significantly reduced by high humidity. At 24 degrees C, resin shear strength was not significantly affected by humidity variations.
