Bonding ability of resin cements to different types of CAD/CAM composite blocks

抄録

This study investigated the bonding performance of two different types of resin cements to computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) composite blocks based on the shear bond strength (SBS) test. A silane-containing self-adhesive resin cement (Panavia SA Cement Universal) and resin luting cement (Block HC Cem) with a primer, were used. Specimens were fabricated from three different types of CAD/CAM composite blocks, and their surfaces were blasted with alumina. Resin cements were bonded to the specimens, and their SBSs were measured after 15 min, 24 h, and after being subjected to thermal cycling for 10,000 and 30,000 cycles. Three-way ANOVA for bond strength revealed that CAD/CAM composite block, resin cement and storage time significantly influenced the SBS values, and the three-way interactions between the evaluated factors, and all the interactions were significant. It was concluded that the bonding performance of resin cements to CAD/CAM composite blocks were material and storage period dependent.
