Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Translucent zirconia has brought the advantages such as less tooth preparation, biological compatibility, high strength, good mechanical properties, and less antagonist wear. This study's aim was to elucidate how clinically relevant surface treatments; alumina-abrasion and priming effect on bond strength of Y-PSZ in three different translucency grades after long-term water storage. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three highly translucent Y-PSZ grades were ground flat with #600-grit SiC paper. Four different surface treatments (untreated, alumina blasting at 0.1 MPa or 0.2 MPa or 0.4 MPa) and two resin cements (PANAVIA V5 and PANAVIA SA CEMENT PLUS AUTOMIX) were tested. The bonded specimens were stored in water for 1 day, 30 days and 150 days and tensile bond strength (TBS) were measured with universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 2 mm/min (n=10). The surface roughness (Sa) measurement and surface morphology analysis without alumina-blasting pressure (untreated) and with alumina-blasting pressures (0.1 MPa, 0.2 MPa and 0.4 MPa) for three different zirconia grades were evaluated with 3D-Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope. RESULTS: Different alumina-blasting pressures and different storage periods affected the bonding of resin cement to translucent zirconia. The Weibull moduli increased in some groups after 150 days storage. After 1 day and 30 days storage, 0.4 MPa alumina-blasting pressure provided superior bond strength, however, after 150 days, 0.2 MPa gave reliable and stable bond strength. SIGNIFICANCE: Alumina-blasting pressure of 0.2 MPa was the most effective for reliable and durable bonding performance to translucent zirconia after long-term water storage.
