Effect of specimen preparation method on the microtensile bond strength of veneering ceramic to zirconia
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.
