Aim of the study: the purpose of this In-vitro study was to evaluate the effect of surface treatments on the color change and shear bond strength of lithium disilicate glass ceramic veneers. Materials & Methods: Twenty square samples with dimensions (8x8x2) and another twenty samples with smaller dimensions (4x4x2) were cut from five IPS e-max CAD blocks of shade A3. The discs were divided into two groups: 1) Half of the small and large blocks were subjected to hydrofluoric acid (HF); 2) the other half was subjected to Co2 laser irradiation. The conditioned samples were subdivided according to the bonding agent: A) Silane application for 60 seconds; B) Single bond universal light cured for 10 seconds. Each small sample was cemented on the top of a large sample using RelyX veneer cement with translucent shade. The color change was measured using spectrophotometer. The shear bond strength was tested using a universal testing machine. Results: HF resulted in higher bond shear bond strength and ΔE than Co2 laser. Single bond universal resulted in higher shear bond strength values than silane. Conclusion: HF followed by either single bond universal or silane could be the best surface treatment for e-max CAD ceramic. However, Co2 laser could be a promising alternative surface treatment.
