Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how different sizes of alumina particles and jet pressures affect the bond strength between polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and dental resin cement, aiming to find optimal conditions for clinical applications.
- Various analysis methods were used to assess the surface properties of PEEK after airborne particle abrasion, including roughness, morphology, and chemical composition.
- Results showed that 110 μm alumina particles at 2 bar jet pressure minimize damage to PEEK while maintaining adequate bond strength, although bond strength decreased after thermal cycling and adhesive failure was common.
