Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: A strong and stable bond between the luting resin and overlying ceramic restoration is critical to longevity, but no technique has been established for how to provide such a bond when the core material is zirconia. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different materials containing 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (MDP) on the bond strength to yttria-tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) ceramic. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Forty Y-TZP slices (Lava) were cemented to substrates (8 groups; n=5 in each) with or without the previous application of an experimental primer (0.5% MDP) or an MDP-based adhesive (Clearfil S3 Bond Plus or Scotchbond Universal) with either an MDP (Clearfil SA) or a non-MDP (RelyX Ultimate) luting resin. Specimens were cut, stored in distilled water, and microtensile tested (5 beams per specimen) at 48 hours and again at 6 months after luting procedures. The data were analyzed by 4-way ANOVA (α=.05) and the Tukey test (α=.05). The mode of failure was classified with a stereomicroscope, and the treated surfaces were analyzed with energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. RESULTS: Both adhesive (P<.001) and time (P<.001) significantly affected bond strength. The interaction of any of the factors was not significant. The use of an MDP-containing adhesive and the shorter storage time were associated with higher bond strengths. At 48 hours, an overall incidence of 50.5% of Type 1 mode of failure (adhesive at ceramic/resin interface) occurred, as opposed to 68% after 6 months of water storage. Energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy results showed peaks of carbon and phosphorus when MDP-based materials were used. CONCLUSIONS: The application of an MDP-based adhesive may improve bond strength to zirconia. However, microtensile bond strength results for all groups did not remain stable over 6 months.
