Effect of a new metal primer on the bond strength between a resin cement and two high-noble alloys Maria Antoniadou, DDS, MS, Matthias Kern, DMD, PhD, Jörg Rudolf Strub, DMD, PhD Kiel, Germany The alloy primer tested in this study significantly improved the bond strength of the resin cement to the noble alloys. GPM 554 206. Comparison of the tensile bond strength of high-noble, noble, and base metal alloys bonded to enamel Deniz Sen, Emine Nayir, Selim Pamuk Instanbul, Turkey In this study, no significant difference was observed in the tensile bond strength for the 2 luting agents tested. GPM 561 207. Bond strength of three porcelains to two forms of titanium using two firing atmospheres Saadet Atsü, DDS, PhD, Semih Berksun, DDS, PhD Ankara, Turkey This in vitro investigation evaluating bonding characteristics of 3 titanium-porcelain systems under various conditions revealed that matching the titanium-porcelain combination is the main determinant for optimal bonding. GPM 567 208. Effect of pressure of helium, argon, krypton, and xenon on the porosity, microstructure, and mechanical properties of commercially pure titanium castings Spiros Zinelis Athens, Greece The results of this study suggest that low gas pressures and Kr or Xe atmospheres reduce porosity and improve the qulaity of cp Ti castings. GPM 575 209. Immediate lingual flange extension Yuuji Sato, DDS, PhD, Ryuji Hosokawa, DDS, PhD, Takayasu Kubo, DDS, PhD Hiroshima, Japan A technique for immediate lingual flange extension before tissue conditioning and/or relining is described. A silicone putty matrix and autopolymerizing resin are used. CAL 583 210. Adaptation of a relocatable head frame for stereotactic radiotherapy Mark F. Mathews, DDS, MS, Rick M. Smith, DDS, MS Lackland AFB, Texas This article describes a technique for adaptation of a head frame to the same position each time stereotactic radiotherapy is administered. GPM 585 December 2000 • Volume 84 • Number 6 211. Long-term survival of sleeve-designed fixed partial dentures: A clinical report Mohiddin R. Dimashkieh, DDS, MSc, Abdullah R. Al-Shammery, BDS, MS Riyadh, Saudi Arabia The results of this longitudinal study for modified, conservative, resin-bonded SDFPDs were favorable. The problem of dislodgement apparently was resolved with this design, but esthetics remained a challenge, despite the masking of facial surfaces. WFPM 594 212. Assessment of plaque prevention on dentures using an experimental cleanser Sarah R. Sheen, BDS, Alan Harrison, TD, BDS, PhD Bristol, United Kingdom The effectiveness of a new denture cleanser was evaluated by the authors, who developed a method for using digital imaging to assess plaque accumulation. This method may be of use in future clinical trials. GPM 594 213. Accuracy of three corrective techniques for implant bar fabrication Giancarlo G. Romero, DDS, MS, Robert Engelmeier, DMD, MS, John M. Powers, PhD, Andrew A. Canterbury, MA, CDT Houston, Texas In this study, EDM proved to be the best postcasting method for correcting nonpassive fit between a cast bar superstructure and its interference with an implant abutment. GPM 602 214. Sterilization of reusable implant components: A pilot study Joseph R. Cain, DDS, MS, Donald L. Mitchell, DDS, MS, Joseph C. Gillespie Oklahoma City, Okla. The authors describe a clinically applicable procedure for sterilizing reusable dental implant instruments and components. GPM 608 215. Condylar repositioning in mandibular retrusion Jeffrey Wilson, BDS, MSc, DDPH, Robert Ian Nairn, BDS, MSc Cardiff, Wales, and London, England The results of this study indicate that the removal of interfering occlusal contact on the retruded path of closure reduces the posterior displacement of the condyles. GPM 612 216. Effectiveness of metal surface treatments in controlling microleakage of the acrylic resin-metal framework interface Bruno Sharp, DDS, MS, Dean Morton, BDS, MS, Arthur E. Clark, DMD, PhD Gainesville, Fla. An interesting study that demonstrated that air abrasion is an economical and simple method to improve resistance to microleakage between metal alloys and acrylic resin. GPM 617 217. Use of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and cyclic polarization to evaluate the corrosion behavior of six nickel-chromium alloys before and after porcelain-fused-to-metal firing Michael D. Roach, MS, John T. Wolan, PhD, Doug E. Parsell, PhD, Joel D. Bumgardner, PhD Mississippi State, and Jackson, Miss. An extremely important study that suggests that procelain firing procedures may increase the corrosion rate of some alloys. Enhanced corrosion increases the potential for hypersensitivity reactions to Ni, Cr, Be, and other corrosive products. GPM 623 218. Development and application of a new abrasion testing device Terry M. Lindquist, BS, DDS, MS, Clark M. Stanford, DDS, PhD Iowa City, Iowa The authors present a new device for the evaluation of the wear resistance of gypsum-based die materials. GPM 635 219. American Board of Prosthodontics William D.
