Statement Of Problem: No consensus has been reached on the best bonding protocol between a zirconia ceramic surface and the tooth structure.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the extrusion shear strength between yttria partially stabilized zirconia ceramics and resin cement (Panavia F) after different surface treatments.
Material And Methods: The surface treatments evaluated (n=7) included the following: G1-control group (no surface treatment); G2-treated with MDP primer (Alloy Primer); G3-treated with 40% hydrofluoric acid (210 seconds); and G4-treated with 40% hydrofluoric acid (210 seconds) followed by MDP primer.
