Hs. Chana et al., THE INFLUENCE OF CEMENT THICKNESS ON THE TENSILE-STRENGTH OF 2 RESIN CEMENTS, The International journal of prosthodontics, 10(4), 1997, pp. 340-344
This study evaluated the influence of varying the cement thickness upo
n the tensile strength of nickel-chromium specimen cylinders cemented
with Panavia Ex or Panavia 21 resin cements. A decrease in mean tensil
e strength of the resin-nickel-chromium alloy composite structure was
recorded with an increasing cement thickness for both resin cements. P
anavia 21 exhibited a significantly greater mean tensile strength than
Panavia Ex at all cement thicknesses tested (P<.01).
