summary The present study examines the influence of a goldbonder and pre‐heat treatment of the titanium on the adhesion of porcelain. Three groups of titanium substrates were given various heat treatments, namely; none, 200 ° and 600 °C, respectively before applying goldbonder. The surfaces of the titanium specimens following heat treatment were examined with an electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA). The adhesion strength was measured by the strain energy release rate ( G ), which was proposed by Suansuwan N and Swain MV ( Int J Prosthodont . 1999;12:547). After bonding porcelain onto titanium substrates with the aid of the goldbonder, the porcelain side of specimens was notched to the interface with a thin diamond saw. Then the samples were subject to a four‐point bending test. Following fracture testing, specimens were examined with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and SEM with energy‐dispersive spectroscopic analysis (EDS). The mean G ‐values were 38·87, 28·64 and 16·33 J m −2 , respectively. ESCA analysis showed the composition of aluminium of the surface of 600 °C pre‐heat treatment became richer than that of the others. SEM images of the fracture surfaces showed that for the 600 °C pre‐heat treatment fracture occurred within the oxidation layer on the titanium. High temperature pre‐heat treatment prior to bonding significantly reduces porcelain bonded to titanium with the goldbonder.
