Abstract:SUMMARY
Objectives:
This study aimed to assess the surface roughness, surface free energy (SFE), and shear bond strength (SBS) on a lithium disilicate glass-ceramic surface following varying etching protocols (time variation) and application of silane either with or without adhesive material.
Methods and Materials:
Lithium disilicate glassceramic (LDGC) computer-aided design and computer-aide… Show more
