Bond strength of CAD/CAM-manufactured composite resin and ceramic veneers to a zirconia framework.

This study investigated bond strength of CAD/CAM-manufactured composite resin and ceramic veneers to a zirconia framework and analyzed the effect of treatments of veneer surfaces. A CAD/CAM resin-based (AVE) composite or lithium disilicate ceramic (IEC) block was used as the veneer material. AVE and IEC specimens were assigned to receive one of three surface treatments (n = 22): no surface treatment, acid-etching with 9.

Effect of priming agents on shear bond strengths of resin-based luting agents to a translucent zirconia material.

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of priming agents and artificial aging with thermocycling on shear bond strengths of two resin-based luting agents to a translucent zirconia material.

Methods: A total of 308 pairs of translucent zirconia disk specimens were divided into seven treatment groups: Alloy Primer (ALP), Clearfil Ceramic Primer Plus (CCP), Meta Fast Bonding Liner (MFB), MR. bond (MRB), Super-Bond PZ Primer Liquid B (PZB), V-Primer (VPR), and an unprimed group (UP).

Effect of framework design on fracture load after thermal cycling and mechanical loading of implant-supported zirconia-based prostheses.

This study evaluated the effect of zirconia framework design on fracture load of implant-supported zirconia-based prostheses after thermal cycling and mechanical loading. Three different zirconia framework designs were investigated: uniform-thickness (UNI), anatomic (ANA), and supported anatomic (SUP) designs. Each framework was layered with feldspathic porcelain (ZAC group) or indirect composite material (ZIC group).

Shear bond strength of a denture base acrylic resin and gingiva-colored indirect composite material to zirconia ceramics.

Purpose: To evaluate the shear bond strengths of two gingiva-colored materials (an indirect composite material and a denture base acrylic resin) to zirconia ceramics and determine the effects of surface treatment with various priming agents.

Methods: A gingiva-colored indirect composite material (CER) or denture base acrylic resin (PAL) was bonded to zirconia disks with unpriming (UP) or one of seven priming agents (n=11 each), namely, Alloy Primer (ALP), Clearfil Photo Bond (CPB), Clearfil Photo Bond with Clearfil Porcelain Bond Activator (CPB+Act), Metal Link (MEL), Meta Fast Bonding Liner (MFB), MR. bond (MRB), and V-Primer (VPR).
