Aim: Is to evaluate the Influence of hydrofluoric acid concentration and etching time on pull off of lithium-disilicate glass anterior crowns.Material and Methods: forty-five lithium disilicate (IPS e.max cad) full coverage crowns were fabricated on prepared extracted human maxillary central incisors. The crowns (n=45) were divided into three groups (n=15) according to the hydrofluoric acid (HF) concentrations used for the cementation of these crowns to the teeth; I) HF 4.9%, 2) HF 9.6%, 3). HF 11%. Then each group was subdivided into three subgroups (A, B, C) according to etching time (20seconds ,35seconds&60seconds respectively). Each crown was cemented to the corresponding prepared tooth using an adhesive resin cement. Then, the whole crown tooth assembly were subjected to thermocycling (5°C -55°C,5000 cycles,). A universal testing machine was used to assess pull-off test. Data were collected, tabulated and statistically evaluated. Results:The results showed a statistically significant difference in the mean values of the pull off test between the groups regarding HF concentration. Group 1 (4.9% hydrofluoric acid) (206.5 ± 13.1) < group 2 (9.5% hydrofluoric acid) (244.1 ± 25.4) < group 3 (11% hydrofluoric acid) (284.4 ± 13.5). For 9.6% and 11% HF acid concentrations, etching durations used in this study do not have a significant effect on the retention of lithium disilicate glass crowns. However, for 4.9% HF the retention means significantly increased with elevating the etching duration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
