Purpose: To compare the shear bond strength of zirconia to enamel using different surface treatments, in order to provide evidence for clinical practice.
Methods: Forty cut and fully sintered Lava frame zirconia blocks (2.7 mm × 2.7 mm × 5 mm) were randomly divided into 4 groups and subjected to 4 different surface treatments: no treatment (control), airborne-particle abrasion; airborne-particle abrasion and silane; airborne-particle abrasion and CoJet sand (silica coating with 30 μm silica-modified alumina particles) and silane. After surface treatment, the zirconia blocks were bonded to acid-etched enamel with self-adhesive resin cement (RelyX Unicem). Half of the specimens in each group were stored in 37 degrees centigrade distilled water for 24 h and the others were thermocycled (5 degrees centigrade and 55 degrees centigrade) for 5000 cycles. All specimens were subjected to shear bond strength (SBS) test. The data was analyzed with SPSS 20.0 software package for two-way ANOVA and t test. Failure mode was observed and analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM).
Results: Airborne-particle abrasion and CoJet Sand and silane group resulted in a significantly higher SBS than those in other groups (P<0.001), while no significant difference existed between the specimens which were submerged in 37 degrees centigrade water stored and thermocycled (P=0.595) within this group. No adhesive failures were observed by SEM in this group.
Conclusions: The combination of tribo-chemical silica coating with silane coupling can improve the bond of zirconia when self-adhesive resin cement is used and it is recommended as a pre-treatment to increase zirconia retention.

Objectives: To compare the impact of intaglio surface treatments - airborne particle abrasion and hydrofluoric acid (HF) etching - of feldspar ceramic (FEL) crowns on the fracture load (FL) and to investigate the effects of abutment materials and artificial aging. The aim was to assess whether etching could be replaced by an alternative surface roughening method.
Materials And Methods: FEL crowns had their intaglio surfaces either abraded (25 µm AlO, 0.

The aim of the study is to assess the impact of mechanical surface treatments on the shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets bonded to three-dimensional (3D) printed and milled CAD/CAM provisional materials. Sixty cylindrical samples were fabricated for each provisional material. Samples were treated with one of the following surface treatments: aluminum oxide airborne particle abrasion, diamond bur rotary instrument roughening, and phosphoric acid etching (control).

Statement Of Problem: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has been used in clinical dentistry because of its excellent physical and biological properties. However, achieving an effective and durable bond with enamel is challenging because of its chemical inertness and low surface energy, and data on the effects of different surface treatments on the durability of PEEK-enamel bonds are scarce.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate airborne-particle abrasion, sulfuric acid etching, and the combined use of these treatments on the bonding durability of PEEK-enamel bonds and to gain a deeper understanding of their bonding mechanism.

Objective: Marginal adaptation of the provisional restoration often requires relining from relining materials. This study determined the effects of surface treatments on the shear bond strength (SBS) between 3D-printed provisional and bis-acryl relining materials.
Materials And Methods: The 3D-printed provisional specimens (9 × 9 × 2 mm) were prepared using methacrylate-based material.
