Objectives: Although pre-treatment parameters for subtractive computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) materials have been thoroughly investigated, data regarding additive restorative materials designed for permanent use in the oral cavity are scarce. This study investigated the effects of abrasive materials and blasting pressure on the bond strength of 3D-printed resins used in permanent restorations.
Methods: A total of n = 44 test specimens additively manufactured from Formlabs' `Permanent Crown Resin' were prepared. Three groups with n = 11 specimens were airborne-particle abraded with 50 µm aluminium oxide at 1 bar, 2 bar or 3 bar. The control group did not receive any further airborne-particle abrasion after post-processing with 50 µm glass beads. Cylindrical superstructures were bonded to the prepared surfaces using RelyX Unicem 2. The bonded specimens were then subjected to artificial ageing via thermocycling. Subsequently, shear bond strength (sbs) tests were conducted. Data were analysed with the Kruskal-Wallis test (α = 0.05).
Results: After post-processing with glass beads, average shear bond strength values of 10.13 ± 7.62 MPa were achieved. When using aluminium oxide and 1 bar blasting pressure, significantly higher average sbs values of 25.57 ± 7.04 MPa were revealed (p = 0.009). The bond strength increased with higher blasting pressures (28.14 ± 6.35 MPa at 2 bar (p = 0.005); 30.15 ± 6.46 MPa at 3 bar (p < 0.001)). However, the shear tests revealed increased failure within the specimen base at higher blasting pressures.
Conclusion: Bond strength significantly improved when airborne-particle abrasion with aluminium oxide was applied. However, increased airborne-particle abrasion pressure led to more failures at the base plate level of the specimens.
Clinical Significance: Aluminium oxide increases the adhesive strength of 3D-printed dental restorative materials. Although the adhesive bond increased slightly with increasing airborne-particle abrasion pressure, the 3D restorative materials also exhibited an increased failure rate within the restorative material in the shear bond strength test with increasing blasting pressure.

Objective: Despite the emergence of numerous three-dimensional (3D) printed provisional resin, there are no conclusive guidelines for repairing them. This study aims to investigate the effects of different repair materials and surface treatments on the shear bond strength of 3D-printed provisional resin.
Materials And Methods: A total of 180 3D-printed resin specimens underwent six surface treatments: no surface treatment (control), silicon carbide paper (SP), sandblasting with aluminum oxide (SB), SP followed by SB (SP + SB), SP with bonding agent (SP + BD), and SB with bonding agent (SB + BD).

Intermolecular interaction is a key factor in the fortification of surimi gels by plant protein addition. Here, the effects of different intermolecular interactions, such as ionic, covalent and non-covalent interactions, on gel structure, gelation strength and water-holding properties were investigated, using sturgeon surimi fortified by three walnut isolates, including walnut meal (WM), protein isolate (WPI) and peptide (WP), as representatives. Quantitative creep-recovery analysis and soluble protein assay demonstrated that secondary bonds, mainly hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bond, possibly played a dominant role in walnut protein-fortified surimi gels.

Background: Increased bond strength between aged CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing) provisional restorative materials is essential for reparability. This study investigated the impact of three different solvents and airborne-particle abrasion on the shear bond strength (SBS) of aged CAD/CAM provisional restorative materials, which are milled PMMA and 3D-printed resin with flowable resin composite.
Methods: 3D-printed resin and milled PMMA (N = 160 per type) were fabricated into cylindrical shapes (5 mm in diameter, 5 mm in height), aged by 5,000 thermocycling cycles, and randomize divided at random into five groups (N = 32) based on surface modification protocols: control; non-surface modification, MEK; application with methyl ethyl ketone, THF; application with tetrahydrofuran, Alc; application with isopropyl alcohol, and APA; airborne-particle abrasion with 50-µm alumina oxide particle.
