Bond durability of a silane-containing self-adhesive and conventional resin cements to CAD/CAM glass and hybrid ceramics

Abstract

To evaluate the effect of CAD/CAM materials surface treatments for bonding of different cementing systems on shear bond strength, including conventional and silane-containing resin cements, after 24 h and one year of water storage. Samples (12 mm × 6 mm × 1 mm) of each CAD/CAM material (IPS E.Max; Suprinity; Enamic; Cerec Bloc; IPS Empress) were divided into 4 groups: G1) 4.5% hydrofluoric acid (HFA) + silane + adhesive + RelyX Veneer (conventional); G2) HFA + Clearfil Ceramic Primer + Tooth Primer + Panavia V5 (conventional); G3) HFA + Panavia SA Cement Universal; G4) blasting with Al2O3 + Panavia SA Cement Universal. After the bonding procedures, two resin cement cylinders (1.5 mm × 1.5 mm) were constructed on each sample and tested after 24 h or one year of water-storage, using shear bond strength testing (n = 10). Data were submitted to generalized linear models’ analysis (p < .05). The conventional treatment for glass ceramics with HFA and silanization or priming (G1 and G2) did not necessarily yielded higher bond strength than the simplified technique (G3 and G4). For IPS E.Max and Suprinity, all protocols had bond strength reduction after one year. For Enamic, Cerec Bloc and IPS Empress, G3 did not reduced statistically at one year. Panavia SA Cement Universal seemed not appropriate when IPS E.Max and Suprinity were blasted with Al2O3. On the other hand, the bond strength to etched or blasted with Al2O3 Enamic, Cerec Bloc and IPS Empress showed no difference or was higher than conventional luting protocols.
