Statement of problem Nonthermal argon plasma may increase the surface energy of yttria-
stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) dental ceramics. However, studies that …

Statement of problem Veneer chipping and crown decementation are the most frequent
failures in restorations using zirconia as an infrastructure. Increasing the roughness of the …

Statement of problem Laser phototherapy has been studied as a surface treatment capable
of increasing the adhesion of cement to the ceramic surface. However, the bond strength of …

Objectives To evaluate the effects of airborne-particle abrasion (APA) and Er, Cr: YSGG
laser irradiation on 4-point-flexural strength, phase transformation and morphologic changes …

Objective: The aim of the study was to make an inventory of current literature on the bond
strength between zirconia and veneering porcelain after surface treatment of zirconia by …

Background. Today, various methods are used to increase the bond strength of zirconia in
layering ceramics. This study evaluated the effects of nonthermal argon plasma on zirconia …
