OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the bond strength of three different
veneering porcelains fired over CP Titanium and a CAD/CAM ceramic cemented to CP
Titanium.
METHODS: Sixty-four bars of CP Titanium grade II (25±1x 3±0.5x 0.5±0.05 mm) were
divided randomly into four groups: Group 1: Titankeramik (Vita Zahnfabrik), Group 2:
Triceram (Dentaurum), Group 3: Initial Ti (GC), and Group 4: MKII blocks (Vita). Each
veneer porcelain (groups 1-3) was applied with dimensions limited to 8x3x1mm and fired
on CP Ti bars following the manufacturer’s instructions and ISO 9693 recommendations.
Group 4, Vita Mark II blocks were sectioned into sixteen bars (8x3x1mm) and cemented
with Multilink Implant cement (Ivoclar) on CP Ti bars. Fifteen specimens from each
group were tested for bond strength by Schwickerath crack initiation test (ISO 9693)
using an Instron machine; the mode of failure and bond interface was evaluated by
SEM / EDS.
RESULTSs: The data were analyzed statistically using ANOVA and Tukey ≤ 0.05. Group 4 is
significantly higher than the other groups. Group 1 is significantly higher than group 3, but similar to group 2.
SEM/EDS analysis reveals that the modes of failure for groups 1 - 4 are a mixture of
adhesive, mixed, and cohesive failures.
CONCLUSION: Cementing a milled ceramic to CP Ti produces bond strength significantly
greater than conventional veneering porcelains. / 2018-09-28T00:00:00Z
