Comparing Shear Bond Strength of Universal Bonding Agents and PekkBond to Pekkton: Evaluating the Effectiveness of Traditional Bonding Agents and Their Respective Cements against PekkBond When Using Pekkton Frameworks

Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare the effect of universal primers and methacrylate-based adhesives on shear bond strengths of resin cement to polyether ketone ketone (PEKK). Forty milled rectangular Pekkton ivory blocks (10x15x10mm) were divided into four groups and mounted into stone pucks. All block surfaces were particle abraded with 110m AlO2 at 30psiand cleaned with isopropyl alcohol. Each group was assigned a primer/bonding adhesive and resin cement (Group A - Scotch bond Universal Adhesive with RelyX Ultimate; Group B -Monobond Plus and Visio. link with Multilink Hybrid Abutment; Group C - Clearfil Ceramic Primer Plus with Panavia V5; Group D - Pekkbond with Multilink Hybrid Abutment). Each bonding agent was applied to a block surface according to the manufacturers instructions, and each cement transferred onto the block surface via gelatin pill capsules. Each block received 2cement capsules, totaling 20 samples per bond group (n = 20/group). The stone pucks were then mounted onto a universal testing machine for shear bond strength testing. The values were recorded and compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test and the Steel-Dwass post-hoc comparisons.
