Abstract
This study was to investigate the various glass thicknesses on the shear bond strength between zirconia and veneering porcelain. The zirconia specimens were classified into 5 groups (n = 12). For the control group, the Y-TZP disk was sintered (G0). For the test group, the presintered zirconia disks were spin coated with different W/P ratio glass compositions. The glass thickness on the zirconia was 1 μm (G1), 4 μm (G4), 10 μm (G10), and 40 μm (G40), respectively. All specimens were build-up veneering porcelain and fired. The shear bond strength (SBS) was tested in a universal testing machine (crosshead speed = 0.5 mm/min). As the thickness of the glass decreased, the shear bond strength increased. The G1 group showed significantly higher than the control group (G0) (P < 0.05). The results suggest that the thickness of glass coating on the zirconia structure needs to be made thin for better bonding strength with veneering porcelain.
