Abstract

SummaryThis review article describes about the bonding systems for noble metal alloys, bonding techniques of restorations and fixed partial dentures (FPDs) made of Ag–Pd–Cu–Au alloys, and their clinical performance. Thione monomers, 6-(4-vinylbenzyl-n-propyl) amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dithione (VTD), 6-methacryloyloxyhexyl-2-thiouracil-5-carboxylate (MTU-6), and 10-methacryloxydecyl 6,8-dithiooctanoate (MDDT), has been proved effective for bonding noble metal alloys. An acrylic adhesive consists of the tri-n-butylborane (TBB) initiator, methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer liquid with 5% 4-methacryloyloxyethyl trimellitate anhydride (4-META), and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), is being used for bonding metallic restorations to abutment surfaces. Clinical performance of restorations and FPDs made of Ag–Pd–Cu–Au alloys is overall excellent when they are seated with the currently available noble metal bonding systems.
