Effect of a silane and phosphate functional monomer on shear bond strength of a resin-based luting agent to lithium disilicate ceramic and quartz materials

抄録

This study examined the effect of silane and phosphate functional monomer on bond strengths between a resin-based luting agent joined to a lithium disilicate ceramic (IPS e.max) and silica (quartz) materials. The e.max and quartz specimens were assigned to 6 groups with different priming/bonding agents, namely, Clearfil Porcelain Bond Activator, Clearfil Photo Bond, Clearfil Photo Bond Universal with Clearfil Porcelain Bond Activator, Clearfil Photo Bond Catalyst with Clearfil Porcelain Bond Activator, Clearfil Photo Bond with Clearfil Porcelain Bond Activator, and unprimed. The corresponding specimens were bonded by using a resin-based luting agent (Panavia V5). Shear bond strengths were determined before and after 5,000 thermocycles. For both the e.max and quartz specimens, the Clearfil Photo Bond Universal with Clearfil Porcelain Bond Activator group had the highest pre- and post-thermocycling bond strength values. Combined use of silane in the acidic environment of a phosphate functional monomer and initiators enhances bond strength of a resin-based luting agent to e.max ceramic and quartz materials.
