Historical review of esthetic material attachment to metal support of crowns and bridges

Uprkos prednosti i tehnološkoj zrelosti dentalnih livnih tehnika i tehniku keramičkog vezivanja na metal, plastični materijali za fasetiranje kru­nica i mostova i dalje su materijali od fundamentalne važnosti za rad u protetici. Nasuprot stogodišnjeg istraživanja spoja keramika metal, na ras­polaganju za spoj plastika metal stoji samo pedeset godina i kako ovaj spoj dobija sve više na značenju može se računati sa jednom optimizacijom spoja između metalne legure i plastičnog materijala.Despite advantages and technological advances in the techniques of dental casts and ceramics attachment to metal, plastic materials for crown and bridge facetting are still of utmost importance for prosthetic proce­ dures. In contrast to a hundred-year period of investigations of the ceramics-metal junction, the plastics-metal junction has been studied for not more than about 50 years. As the importance of this junction is being ever increasingly recognized, it may be expected to be optimized in the near future
