Abstract
This study aimed to investigate whether inorganic elements of polymer-infiltrated ceramic (PIC) and microfilled resin (MFR) for CAD/CAM would affect initial bond strength to luting agent. Inorganic elements of PIC and MFR were different with shape and ingredient observed by SEM, STEM and EDS. Microtensile bond strengths (µTBS) value of PIC was increased by 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (MDP) and acetic acid (AA)- or MDP-activated silane treatment, and further increased by succeeding heat treatment (HT). The µTBS of MFR was increased by MDP and MDP-activated silane, but decreased by AA-activated silane without HT. The HT improved the µTBS of MFR with AA-activated silane, but conversely for MDP-activated silane. Only in MFR, phosphoric acid (PA) application before each surface treatment dramatically decreased the µTBS of AA-activated silane. FTIR peaks in MFR shifted according to phosphate group's peak. MFR would possess high phosphate group adsorption capacity, with MDP effectively improving its bonding capability.
