Examining the effects of acid etching duration on the bond strength between two CAD/CAM materials and one composite resin.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of three hydrofluoric acid (HF) etching periods on the micro-tensile bond strength between two CAD-CAM ceramic systems [Vita Suprinity (VS) and feldspathic CEREC blocs (CB)] and a composite resin. The ceramics were categorized into six groups based on the surface conditioning protocol used, as follows: G1: CB-HF 5% for 20 s; G2: CB-HF 5% for 40 s; G3: CB-HF 5% for 60 s; G4: VS-HF 5% for 20 s; G5: VS-HF 5% for 40 s; G6: VS-HF 5% for 60 s. Scotchbond Universal was applied onto the pretreated ceramic surfaces and covered with Filtek Z350 XT composite resin.

Fracture load of CAD/CAM ultrathin occlusal veneers luted to enamel or dentin.

Objectives: To evaluate, in vitro, the fracture load of IPS e.max CAD occlusal veneers at thicknesses of either 0.3 or 0.

Microtensile bond strength of CAD/CAM materials to dentin under different adhesive strategies.

The present study aimed to evaluate the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of novel computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) restorative materials to dentin using different adhesive strategies. Thirty-two crowns were milled using CAD/CAM materials (Vita Mark II as control, Vita Suprinity, Vita Enamic and Lava Ultimate) and luted to dentin using different resin cements (RelyX ARC, RelyX Unicem 2 and RelyX Ultimate). The specimens were stored in 100% relative humidity at 37°C for 24 h and sectioned.
