Abstract

To compare the bond strength of two types of resin cement to that of additive manufacturing (AM) or cast cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloys. Two types of resin luting cement, composite resin and methyl methacrylate (MMA), were bonded to AM or cast Co-Cr alloys, and shear bond tests were performed after seven days of storage in distilled water at 37°C. Co-Cr alloy adhesive elements AM to the enamel surface of the labial aspect of a bovine mandibular central incisor crown were bonded with two types of resin luting cement and subjected to 1,000 cycles of storage in water for one day and 28 days or thermal cycling, followed by shear bonding tests. Residual cement on the metal and enamel surfaces after the bonding tests was evaluated using an optical microscope. The normality of the results was evaluated using statistical software Statcel4, analysis of variance, or Kruskal-Wallis test, depending on normality, and multiple comparison tests were performed using the Tukey-Kramer or Steel-Dwass tests. After one day, the shear bond strength (SBS) was 25.9 MPa for Panavia V5 (PV; Kuraray Noritake Dental Corporation, Niigata, Japan) and 23.5 MPa for Super-Bond (SB; Sun Medical Corporation, Shiga, Japan), with no significant difference between the two cement types (P > 0.05). After 28 days, the SBS decreased to 4.1 MPa for PV and 6.7 MPa for SB, showing a significant difference between the two cements (P < 0.05). Following 1,000 thermal cycles, the SBS was 2.0 MPa for PV and 5.6 MPa for SB, with SB exhibiting a significantly higher value (P < 0.05). The adhesive strength was significantly lower after 28 days of storage and thermal cycling compared to after one day of storage (P < 0.05). The Co-Cr alloy exhibited more residual cement on the enamel surface due to interfacial fracture with the resin cement. The Co-Cr alloy showed more residual cement on the enamel surface due to interfacial fracture with the resin cement. MMA-based resin cement showed optimal bond strength and may be suitable for clinical use in computer-aided design (CAD)/computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) orthodontic appliances.
