Control group (A) was bonded with conventional micro-hybrid composite and experimental group (B) was bonded with nanocomposite in a 2 mm thickness. All specimens were thermocycled and stored in distilled water at 37 °C for 7 days. A universal testing machine was used to measure the Shear bond strength (SBS). The difference between bond strengths of the groups was compared using an independent t-test. </span><strong><span lang="EN-US">Results: </span></strong><span lang="EN-US">In all three groups, the SBS was higher in the experimental group as compared to the control group. The use of nanocomposite of metal alloy presented maximum shear bond strength, followed by samples of porcelain fused to metal and finally porcelain, showing the lowest values of SBS</span><span lang="EN-US">. </span><strong><span lang="EN-US">Conclusion: </span></strong><span lang="EN-US">Porcelain and alloys bonded with nanocomposite exhibit enhanced adhesiveness as well as aesthetic and mechanical properties. This subsequently would translate into providing higher clinical serviceability and durability and hence a cost-effective and accessible repair option for human welfare.</span></div>}, journal={Pesquisa Brasileira em Odontopediatria e Clínica Integrada}, author={Sarfraz, Zenab and Arooj, Zartashia and Fahim, Ayesha and Manzoor, Sadia and Javed, Mariyah and Saeed, Asfia and Khan, Abdul Samad and Khan, Sohail Abbas and Alam, Mohammad Khursheed}, year={2022}, month={Jul.}, pages={e210172} }
