The effects of microarc oxide treatment on the bonding strength of titanium to ceramic / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the feasibility of microarc oxide treatment on the enhancement of titanium-ceramic bonding strength. Method:Titanium samples in the size of 25 mm?3 mm?0.5 mm were prepared with smooth surface(group 1),rough surface(group 2) and microacrc oxide treated surface(group 3). Nickel-chromium alloy samples in the same size were prepared (group 4). The surface of the samples was observed by scanning electron microscope(SEM) and dispersive spectrometry analysis. Then, the samples were bonded to porcelain. The bonding interface was observed by SEM. The bonding strength of the samples was measured by a three-point bending test according to ISO 9693.Results:Microarc oxide treated surface was rough and porous. The interface of microarc oxide treated surface bonded to porcelain was compact. The bonding strength(MPa) of the samples of group 1,2,3 and 4 to porcelain was 30.79?1.3,36.12?3.03,45.84?3.15 and 48.35?3.06 respectively(group 3 vs group 1 or 2 P0.05). Conclusion:The microarc oxide treatment on titanium can increase the titanium-ceramic bond strength.
