Statement of problem The polycrystalline nature of zirconia hinders its ability to bond to tooth
structure. Consequently, durable bonding to zirconia has been challenging. In vitro studies …

Purpose: To evaluate the influence of different surface treatments of lithium disilicate glass
ceramics on the bonding efficacy of three luting composites. Materials and Methods: A total …

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 …

Background Silicate ceramic bonding is carried out by acid-etching with hydrofluoric acid
(HF) followed by an application of silane. By replacing HF with ammonium polyfluoride …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of resin cement and lithium
disilicate ceramic after various surface treatments of the ceramic. Sixty blocks of ceramic …

Objectives The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of the ratio of different
concentrations of silane to 1 wt% 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogenphosphate (MDP) in …

Background Endocrown restorations as a conservative approach to restore endodontically
treated teeth still need in vitro investigation under fatigue and made in different materials …

Objective Evaluate the effect of different ceramic primers and post-silanization protocols on
physicochemical and morphological characteristics of a lithium disilicate glass ceramic …

This study aimed to evaluate the bonding abilities and long-term durability of different repair
agents when applied to lithium disilicate ceramics (LDS). Blocks of IPS e. max CAD were …

In the current study, we evaluated the effects of heat treatment (by Er: YAG or furnace) and
various surface treatments on the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of silanized lithium …
