Bond Strength of Resin Cement to Ceramic with New Simplified Primers and Pre-Treatment Solutions

Abstract

Manufacturers have introduced new surface primers and pre-treatment solutions that reportedly allow bonding of resin cements to glass-based ceramics with various combinations of etchant and/or coupling agents to simplify the application process. the purpose of this study was to compare the shear bond strength of resin cement to a lithium disilicate glass-ceramic material using new surface primers and pre-treatment solutions. Ceramic blocks were sectioned with a diamond saw into wafers and mounted in PVC pipe. The wafers were steam cleaned, dried, and the surfaces were treated with various primers and pre-treatment solutions per manufacturer's instructions.
