The Influence of Abutment Surface Treatment and the Type of Luting Cement on Shear Bond Strength between TitaniumCementZirconia

الملخص EN

Objectives.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the shear bond strength of zirconia cylinders on a modified titanium surface using different luting cement types.

Material and Methods.

Eighty titanium disks were divided into two groups (n=40), which were treated with either grinding or a combination of sandblasting and grinding.

Then, each group was subdivided into 4 groups (n=10) and the disks were bonded to disks of sintered zirconia using one of four cement types (permanent: composite cement; temporary: polycarboxylate cement, zinc-oxide-eugenol cement, and resin cement).

Shear bond strength (SBS) was measured in a universal testing machine.

Fracture pattern and site characteristic were recorded.

A fractographic analysis was performed with SEM.

The chemical analysis of the composition of the fractures was performed using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).

The results of the experiment were analyzed with two-way analysis of variance and Tukey post hoc test.

Results.

The highest mean values of SBS were achieved when grinding was combined with sandblasting and when composite cement was used (18.18 MPa).

In the temporary cement group, the highest mean values of SBS were for polycarboxylate cement after grinding (3.57 MPa).

Conclusion.

The choice of cement has a crucial influence on the titanium-cement-zirconia interface quality.
