Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this study was to investigate effect of specimen preparation method on the microtensile bond strength of veneering ceramic to zirconia core.

Materials and methods

Cylindrical Lava zirconia block (3M ESPE, Seefeld, Germany) was cut into discs using a diamond disc. After sintering, the core specimens were placed in an adjustable mold and veneered with Lava ceram (3M ESPE, Seefeld, Germany). The disc shaped specimen of group 1 was cut into microbars (1×1×7 mm3) using a low speed diamond disc under water cooling (n = 15). The specimen of group 2 was cut into microbars (1.2×1.2×7 mm3) in the same way. Whereafter the microbars were trimmed (1×1×7 mm3) using a thick diamond disc under water cooling (n = 15). The microtensile bond strength was tested in a microtensile tester (Instron 8848, Instro® Co., Norwood, USA). Fractured microtensile specimens were analyzed under a stereomicroscope (MZ6, Leica Microsystems GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany) at magnification ×30.

Results

The microtensile bond strength of group 1 (28.8 ± 7.0 MPa) was significantly higher than group 2 (11.0 ± 3.3 MPa) (P=.00).

Conclusion

It appears advisable to avoid the trimming action, especially high strength ceramic specimens.
