Bond strength of heat-pressed veneer ceramics to zirconia with various blasting conditions

摘要

Background/purposeWith the technology of dental prostheses and materials progress, the bond durability of the all-ceramic restoration system plays an important role in the oral environment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of the parameters of blasting on the shear bond strength between zirconia and pressed veneer ceramics.Materials and methodsZirconia was blasted with different alumina particle size subjected to two types of applied pressures. Heat-pressed and layered veneer ceramic blocks were served as an experimental group and control group, respectively. The shear strength of specimens after thermocycling for 20,000 times was also investigated to simulate oral environment.ResultsThe results indicated that the surface roughness was increased significantly (P?
