A comparative evaluation of shear bond strength between feldspathic porcelain and lithium di silicate ceramic layered to a zirconia core– An in vitro study

Abstract

Background The bond strength between the zirconia core and ceramic veneer is the weakest component in the layered structure. Delamination of veneering ceramic is reported as one of the most frequent problems associated with Veneered Zirconia restorations. The aim of this study is to compare the shear bond strength of lithium di silicate porcelain to that of feldspathic porcelain on a zirconia Substrate. Material and Methods Two groups (group A and B) of zirconia blocks with each group having 20 samples were fabricated according to Schmitz Schulmeyer method. Group A (n =20 ) samples were veneered with feldspathic veneering porcelain and Group B (n=20) samples were veneered with heat pressed lithium disilicate ceramic. The fabricated samples were then evaluated for shear bond strength in Universal Testing Machine. The values were then statistically analyzed using independent sample t-test. Results Results of the current study showed that mean shear bond strength of feldspathic porcelain 11.40±1.29 MPa is comparatively lower than the mean shear bond strength of the lithium disilicate group 18.81±1.76 MPa. The statistical analysis indicated that ( p value<0.01) there is a statistically significant difference in the shear bond strength between the two groups. Conclusions The heat pressed lithium disilicate veneering materials has a better shear bond strength compared to feldspathic veneering ceramic material when layered to a zirconia core and it can be used as a viable alternative material to feldspathic porcelain layering material in bilayered zirconia restorations. Key words: Zirconia, bilayered ceramics, lithium disilicate , shear bond strength, ceramic chipping.

Effect of Die Spacer Thickness on the Microshear Bond Strength of CAD/CAM Lithium Disilicate Veneers

“…Although there exists a plethora of studies on the shear bond strength of laminate veneers with regard to cement type, ceramic type, ceramic surface treatment, and preparation type [2,[17][18][19], the role of cement thickness seems to have been less focused on. is study served to help provide this information.…”

Smile Designing Using DSD: A Case Report

“…Lithium di silicate was preferred because of its excellent esthetic properties. [9] Excellence can never be achieved by chance, but using a consistent systematic approach for diagnosis, communication, treatment planning and eventually execution yields a perfect result and satisfication to the dentist and patient. Thus DSD is one such protocol aiding us in providing perfect and esthetic smile.…”

Composite Resin Bond Strength to Zirconia and Base Metal Alloys Using Two Types of Intraoral Porcelain Repair Systems

“…Zirconia crowns typically consist of a zirconia framework layered with feldspathic ceramic [ 1 ]. Compared to monolithic zirconia crowns, they are more often used due to their aesthetic advantages [ 2 , 3 ]. However, the veneering ceramic on bi-layered zirconia crowns is prone to chipping due to differences in coefficients of thermal expansion, poor shear bond strength (SBS), and poor tensile strength.…”
