Adhesive Bonding of Titanium with a Titanate Coupler and 4-META/MMA-TBB Opaque Resin

Abstract

Adhesive bonding of titanium was evaluated with a titanate primer and adhesive opaque resin. The primer consisted of 2% isopropyl dimethacryloyl isostearoyl titanate in methyl methacrylate. The adhesive was 4-META/MMA-TBB opaque resin that contained 4-methacryloyloxyethyl trimellitate anhydride and was initiated by tri- n-butylborane derivative. Titanium discs were machined and blasted with aluminum oxide. They were primed and bonded together with the opaque resin. A shear test was performed after repeated thermocycles for investigation of the durability of the bond. The shear strength of the primed and 4-META resin-bonded specimens was 37.2 MPa after 50,000 thermocycles, with only a small decrease in bond strength. This was significantly higher than the control values. Thus, titanate primer and 4-META/MMA-TBB opaque resin may be used for the bonding of titanium in prosthodontic practice.
