An as-produced surface of oxide ceramic needs to be surface treated to achieve durable bond strength .
Abrasive surface treatment and /or silica-coating treatment with the use of primer treatment can provide sufficient bond strength for bonding oxide ceramics .
The following aims were set for this systematic literature review : ( a ) to make an inventory of existing methods to achieve bondable surfaces on oxide ceramics and ( b ) to evaluate which methods might provide sufficient bond strength .
Comparison of resin cement adhesion to Y-TZP ceramic following manufacturers’ instructions of the cements only
The objectives of this study were ( 1 ) to evaluate the bond strength of four resin material s with various chemical compositions following the manufacturers ’ instructions only and ( 2 ) to test their durability in dry and thermal aged conditions when they were bonded to zirconia ceramic . Four types of resin material s namely , Panavia F 2.0 , Multilink , SuperBond and Quadrant Posterior Dense , were attached to the disc-shaped zirconia ceramics ( LAVA , 3 M ESPE ) using polyethylene molds and polymerized accordingly after the ceramics were wet ground finished and ultrasonically cleaned . The specimens were r and omly divided into two groups for ageing conditions . While the dry groups were tested immediately after attachment of the resin cement , the other specimens were subjected to thermocycling ( ×6,000 , 5–55 ° C ) . Bond strength results were significantly affected by the storage condition ( p < 0.001 ) and type of resin ( p < 0.001 ; analysis of variance ) . Panavia F 2.0 showed the highest bond strength results under dry conditions ( 9.6 ± 4.1 MPa ) . When manufacturers ’ instructions of the resin cements were followed , no adhesion ( 0 MPa ) was achieved on the zirconia after 6,000 thermal cyclings including Panavia F 2.0
