EFFECT OF DIFFERENT SURFACE CONDITIONING METHODS ON SHEAR BONDING STRENGTH OF GLASS-INFILTRATED CERAMIC I TO DENTINE / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

To investigate the effects of different surface conditioning methods on the shear bonding strength of glass-infiltrated ceramic to dentine, 24 glass-infiltrated ceramic testing-pieces were divided into four groups randomly. Among them 3 groups were treated with A(sandblasting+silance), B(etching+silace) or C(silance), separately, while group D was set as the control. Bonding the ceramic pieces to dentine with Super-Bond and the shear bonding strengths was measured. The results showed that the shear bonding strength of group D was lower than that of group A, B and C (P0.05). It is suggested that surface conditioning using combined sandblasting with silance can remarkbly improve the shear bonding strength of glass-infiltrated ceramic to dentine.
