The aim was to compare different surface pretreatments on definitive resin crown materials manufactured additively or subtractively in terms of shear bond strength (SBS) values. Seven subgroups (n=10) were formed from additively manufactured VarseoSmile Crown Plus (VS) and subtractively manufactured Cerasmart270 blocks (CS) according to different surface pretreatments applied; sandblasting (subgroup SB), hydrofluoric acid (subgroup HF), Multi Primer (subgroup MP), subgroup SB-HF, subgroup SB-MP, subgroup SB-HF-MP, and control subgroup. A 3-mm-diameter composite was cemented onto each sample by self-adhesive resin cement. SBS values were measured and failure modes were analyzed after thermocycling. Data were analyzed with two-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD tests. The mean SBS value of VS was found significantly higher than CS (p<0.001). Subgroups SB-HF-MP, HF, SB-MP, and MP of VS exhibited the highest SBS values (p<0.001). The VS exhibited mostly cohesive failure, while CS exhibited mostly adhesive failure.
