Evaluation of the Shear Bond Strength of Two Types of Adhesive Resin Cements to Zirconia after Surface Treatment using Silica Coating

Abstract

Aim: to evaluate the shear bond strength of zirconia bonded with two self etch adhesive resin cements PANAVIA F 2.0 and BISTITE ΠDC using two surface treatment techniques: sand blasting and silica coating using Cojet system. Materials and Methods: Twenty rectangular samples with dimensions (14.5×13×3.6mm) and twenty samples with dimensions (7.2×6×3.6mm) were cut from three zirconia ceramic blocks. Sandblasting was done using air blasting machine with 110 µm AL 2 O 3 particles and Silica coating surface treatment was done using Cojet system with 30 µm SiO 2 particles. Half of the small sandblasted zirconia samples were cemented to half the sand blasted large samples using PANAVIA F 2.0 adhesive resin cement and the rest were cemented using BISTITE ΠDC adhesive resin cement. Also, half of the small silica coated zirconia samples were cemented to half the silica coated large samples using both cements. Thermocycling were done for 5000 thermal cycles. The shear bond strength was tested using a computerized universal testing machine. Results: Zirconia specimens cemented with PANAVIA F 2.0 showed higher shear bond strength than specimens cemented with BISTITE ΠDC and the zirconia surfaces treated with silica coating and sand blasting surface treatments. Conclusion: PANAVIA F 2.0 resin cement and silica coating surface treatment could be the best cement and surface treatment for zirconia and sand blasting could be a promising alternative surface treatment.

The Effect of Clinical Sandblasting With Different Powders on the Surface Roughness of Cores for Metal-Ceramic Crowns and Their Fracture Resistance After the Addition of Repair Material: An In-Vitro Study

“…Regarding fracture resistance, the results of this study showed significantly higher values for the control group, which could be explained by the difference in the processing technique and veneering material [29]. Groups A and B showed no significant differences with slightly higher values in groups B, which could be attributed to the fact that sandblasting with silica coating embeds silica particles in the surface of the substrate, producing a physically and chemically active outer surface layer (oxide layer), which promotes a chemical adhesion with the phosphate monomer (MDP), resulting in a stronger bonding [30]. It is worth mentioning that all specimens exhibited higher values than the average bite force in the first molar region, as documented by Khan et al [31].…”

Effect of Different Shading Techniques on the Color of Zirconia Ceramic Restoration (An In vivo Study)

“…The long-term effectiveness of all ceramic restorations depends on a strong and durable bond between the tooth structure, luting cements, and ceramics [35]. Sandblasting was used to treat the fitting surfaces of the crowns because it is thought to create surface roughness and irregularities, increase the surface wettability of the ceramic surface, and clean the substrate's surface, allowing the resin cement to flow into the surface [36].…”
