Effect of different surface treatments on In-Ceram Alumina roughness. An AFM study

Comparison of Bond Stability Between Dual-Cure Resin Cements and Pretreated Glass-Infiltrated Alumina Ceramics

“…Rocatec (30 mm particle-size) and sandblasting (110 mm) have been shown to produce similar alumina surface roughness with the tested parameters. 32 In the current study, LRoc surfaces showed micro-retentions, but after coating, meltedappearance areas seemed to be covered (Fig. 1D).…”

Ultra-structure characterization of self-etching treated cementum surfaces

“…2c) between H3PO4 and OUB. These moderate roughness values are compatible with a higher performance, as has been previously reported (3,4,22), by the chemical interaction between SEB and human dentin that is able to enhance the bonding mechanism (23). Roughness was drastically decreased after OUB was used, at 15x15 µm scan size ( Table 2).…”

“…In addition, elderly people are at high risk to have sub-gingival and root caries (3). Adhesion process depends not only on the adhesive system, but also on the dental substrate (4). Clinically, the margins of many adhesive restorations on the root surface are thought to be positioned in cementum or cervical outer dentin (2).…”

Effect of surface treatment methods on the shear bond strength between resin cement and all-ceramic core materials

“…The laser optical fiber (300 μm in diameter) was aligned perpendicular to the ceramic surface at 1 mm distance and scanned the whole ceramic area. The laser parameters used were 100 mJ (pulse energy), 20 Hz (pulses per second), 2 W (power setting), 141.54 J/cm 2 (energy density), and 150 μs (pulse duration) [41].…”
