The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of various surface treatments on shear bond strength between heat-polymerized acrylic resin and autopolymerized acrylic resin. Seventy eight heat-polymerized acrylic resin specimens were divided into six groups according to their surface treatments as follows: 1) no surface treatment, 2) methylmethacrylate monomer application, 3) blasted with alumina particles, 4) plasma jet treatment, 5) plasma jet treatment and monomer application, 6) plasma jet treatment, monomer application and plasma jet treatment. An autopolymerized acrylic resin was applied to the treated surfaces. Shear bond strength tests were performed using a Universal Testing Machine. One-way ANOVA revealed that the group treated with alumina particles had the highest shear bond strength value. No significant difference was detected between the control group and the monomer application group. The shear bond strength of every group treated with plasma jet was significantly lower than that of the control group and the group treated with alumina particles alone.
