Language: EnglishBertolotti, Raymond L. / Paganetti, Charles.A technique is presented for repair of fatigue-fractured fixed partial dentures with an overlaid, bonded porcelain/metal repair. The repair techniques utilize recent advances in resin-to-metal and resin-to-porcelain adhesion. Clinical procedures are given for adhesion of repair castings to intraoral porcelain or metal surfaces. Metal surface preparation techniques depend on the chemistry of the metal and include intraoral tin plating of noble metals. Direct adhesion of composite resin luting agents is used for base metals.
