Abstract

Titanium & titanium alloy are popular in dentistry as dental material because of their good mechanical properties and extremely good biocompatibility. The bonding strength between the titanium and the resin agent is the decisive factor in evaluating the success of resin-bonded restoration. Appropriate surface treatment on the titanium is an effective way to reinforce the bending strength. The purpose of this review is to summarise the relevant studies and introduce some latest findings.
