Composite resins bonded to porcelain with silane solution.

A system of bonding composite resins to dental porcelain with silane solution produced a reliable bond. The introduction of stresses, particularly thermal and functional, needs to be investigated further and tested clinically. This technique is now being investigated clinically in a number of porcelain-fused-to-gold restorations. It could be an effective method of intraoral repair of fractured or chipped porcelain restorations.
