Aim: to evaluate the shear bond strength of zirconia bonded with two self etch adhesive resin cements PANAVIA F 2.0 and BISTITE ΠDC using two surface treatment techniques: sand blasting and silica coating using Cojet system. Materials and Methods: Twenty rectangular samples with dimensions (14.5×13×3.6mm) and twenty samples with dimensions (7.2×6×3.6mm) were cut from three zirconia ceramic blocks. Sandblasting was done using air blasting machine with 110 µm AL 2 O 3 particles and Silica coating surface treatment was done using Cojet system with 30 µm SiO 2 particles. Half of the small sandblasted zirconia samples were cemented to half the sand blasted large samples using PANAVIA F 2.0 adhesive resin cement and the rest were cemented using BISTITE ΠDC adhesive resin cement. Also, half of the small silica coated zirconia samples were cemented to half the silica coated large samples using both cements. Thermocycling were done for 5000 thermal cycles. The shear bond strength was tested using a computerized universal testing machine. Results: Zirconia specimens cemented with PANAVIA F 2.0 showed higher shear bond strength than specimens cemented with BISTITE ΠDC and the zirconia surfaces treated with silica coating and sand blasting surface treatments. Conclusion: PANAVIA F 2.0 resin cement and silica coating surface treatment could be the best cement and surface treatment for zirconia and sand blasting could be a promising alternative surface treatment.

Aim: to evaluate the shear bond strength of an adhesive system (Single bond universal adhesive+ RelyX Ultimate cement) and Panavia F2.0 to two types of zirconia (conventional ZI zirconia and translucent TZI zirconia) after thermocycling. Materials & Methods: 10 square shaped large samples from Incoris ZI blocks, and 10 from Incoris TZI blocks were prepared with larger dimensions (12x12x2mm). Another 10 square shaped small samples from each type of zirconia blocks were with small dimensions (6x6x2mm). The surfaces of the large and small samples were air abraded with 110 µm AL2O3 particles, then each small sample was bonded to the large sample using two types of cements (RelyX Ultimate cement in combination with Single bond universal adhesive and Panavia F2.0 cement) under 3Kg load and light cured. After bonding, all specimens were thermocycled for 5000 cycles. The cement/ zirconia interface for each subgroup was detected under scanning electron microscope and the shear bond strength was tested using a computerized universal testing machine. Results: No significant difference between shear bond strength of all subgroups tested. Conclusion: The shear bond strength of RelyX Ultimate+ Single bond universal adhesive to two types of zirconia was comparable to Panavia F2.0 , and the shear bond strength of translucent zirconia bonded with two types of cements was comparable to conventional zirconia.
