The effect of silica coating on the resin bond to the intaglio surface of Procera AllCeram restorations.
OBJECTIVES This study investigated the influence of a silica-coating method on the resin bond of two different resin composite cements to the intaglio surface of Procera AllCeram densely sintered , high-purity , alumina ceramic restorations after long-term storage and thermocycling . METHOD AND MATERIAL S Densely sintered alumina ceramic specimens were fabricated with the intaglio surface of the Procera AlICeram coping and r and omly divided into five adhesive groups ( 100 total specimens ) . Resin composite cylinders were bonded either to the untreated or to the tribochemical silica/silane-coated ceramic surface with either a conventional Bis-GMA resin cement or a resin composite containing an adhesive phosphate monomer ( Panavia 21 ) in combination with their corresponding bonding/silane coupling agents . Panavia was also used without silanization to the untreated ceramic surface ( control ) . Subgroups of 10 specimens were stored in distilled water for either 3 ( baseline ) or 180 days prior to shear bond strength testing . The 180-day sample s were subjected to repeated thermocycling for a total of 12,000 cycles . Data were analyzed with one-way analysis of variance and Tukey 's multiple comparison . RESULTS Silica coating significantly increased overall bond strength to Procera AllCeram . RelyX ARC and silica coating revealed the highest bond strength at baseline . Long-term storage and thermocycling significantly decreased overall bond strength . Two groups revealed the significantly highest bond strength values after artificial aging : Panavia 21 with its silane/bonding agent to the original ceramic surface and Panavia 21 to the silica-coated ceramic surface . CONCLUSION The use of a resin composite containing an adhesive phosphate monomer either in combination with a silane coupling/bonding agent or after tribochemical silica/silane coating revealed the highest long-term shear bond strength to the intaglio surface of Procera AllCeram restorations
