Aim: To assess the influence of silane evaporation procedures on bond strength between a dental ceramic and a chemically activated resin cement.
Materials And Methods: Eighteen blocks (6 mm Chi 14 mm Chi 14 mm) of ceramic IPS Empress 2 were cemented (C and B) to composite resin (InTen-S) blocks using a chemical adhesive system (Lok). Six groups were analyzed, each with three blocks divided according to ceramic surface treatment: two control groups (no treatment, NT; 10% hydrofluoric acid plus silane Monobond-S dried at room temperature, HFS); the other four groups comprised different evaporation patterns (silane rinsed and dried at room temperature, SRT; silane rinsed in boiling water and dried as before, SBRT; silane rinsed with boiling water and heat dried at 50 degrees C, SBH; silane dried at 50 +/- 5 degrees C, rinsed in boiling water and dried at room temperature, SHBRT).
