RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed first to compare the shear bond strength between zirconia samples luted to enamel with a 10-MDP- containing resin cement (Panavia F2.0, Kuraray, Japan) and those luted with a resin cement using a separated 10-MDP monomer-containing bottle (Panavia V5, Kuraray, Japan). The second objective was to evaluate the bond stability after 150 days of aging in water, between enamel and zirconia ceramic surface enhanced with a glass-ceramic coating. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 80 specimens composed of ceramic cylinders and enamel disks were obtained, within eight experimental groups (n = 10). 60 zirconia cylinders (Katana STML zirconia, Kuraray, Japan) were assigned to 3 groups according to their surface treatment: milled/sintered surface (ZRCT), tribochemical silica-coating (Cojet™ Sand, 3 M ESPE, Seefeld, Germany) (ZRTC), and glass-ceramic coating (IPS e.max Zirpress) (ZRZP). 20 cylinders of lithium disilicate had a milled surface (IPS e.max CAD, Ivoclar-Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) (ECAD). The cylinders of each group were further divided into two subgroups according to the resin cement used: Panavia F2.0 (-PF) and Panavia V5 (-PV). All specimens were stored in distilled water for 150 days before shear bond strength (SBS) tests. The fracture mode was analyzed, and data were statistically computed (two-way ANOVA, post hoc Tukey test, p < 0.05, SPSS, IBM, v26). RESULTS: The ECAD-PF group recorded the highest SBS values (31.75 ± 2.2), and the ZRCT-PF group recorded the lowest values (5.59 ± 1.1). The two-way ANOVA test showed that ceramic surface treatment had a statistically significant effect on SBS (F (3,72) = 38.95, p < 0.001) while the type of ARC did not (F (1,72) = 2.40, p = 0.126). Tukey's post hoc test revealed no statistical difference between the ZRZP and the ZRTC or ECAD groups. CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of this study, the PV resin achieved similar shear bond strength results between tribocoated zirconia and enamel compared to the one for glass-ceramic and enamel. Furthermore, a long-term durable bond, similar to the glass-ceramic one, was achieved with the heat pressed ceramic coated specimens. Thus, this new surface treatment could be recommended for anterior cantilever bridges for its fracture resistance and bonding ability.

OBJECTIVE: There is a growing interest in using pre-heated composites instead of dual-cured cements when luting indirect restorations. This study evaluated the film thickness obtained from two pre-heated composites and two resin cements, by two different operators. The influence of the materials and the level of expertise of the operator were analyzed. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty specimens of human dentin and composite discs were prepared and divided into four groups depending on the luting process. Each group was randomly equally divided to be handled by two operators with different levels of experience. Two of the initial four groups were luted using dual-cured cements and the two remaining groups using light-cured pre-heated composites. Specimen discs were cut after luting, and film thickness was measured using a Digital microscope. Data were analyzed using a 2-way ANOVA with the Holm-Sidak pairwise multiple comparison procedure (p < 0.05). RESULTS: Mean film thickness ranged from 156.16 ± 4.7 to 33.82 ± 0.7 µm. Significant differences (p < 0.001) were noticed between expert and novice results with pre-heated composites. CONCLUSION: Within the limits of this study, using pre-heated composites as a luting cement requires a better level of expertise to achieve a clinically acceptable film thickness. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Using pre-heated composites as luting agent for indirect restorations requires an experimented skill level to achieve a clinically recommended film thickness.
