Surface Treatments for Titanium Substrates

摘要

Both alkaline peroxide and dental fluoro-phos gel performed well as pretreatments for titanium 6-4 under these testing conditions. The relative success of the treatments appears to vary depending on the cure of the adhesive. Since the properties of the bond adhesive appear to depend on the interaction of the adhesive with the surface treatment, further investigation of these simple surface preparations with other adhesive formulations would be useful.
