A critical evaluation of bond strength tests for the assessment of bonding to Y-TZP

Effect of surface treatments on shear bond strength of resin composite bonded to CAD/CAM resin-ceramic hybrid materials

“…Each method, in which different calculation is used to determine bond strength value, has inherent advantages and shortcomings 323334. Higher strength values are generally found with shear bond strength test.…”

Influence of cement type and ceramic primer on retention of polymer-infiltrated ceramic crowns to a one-piece zirconia implant

“…13,[21][22][23][24][25] Bond strength is measured using various methods each using macro-or microspecimens: shear tests, tensile tests, or push-out tests. [26][27][28] The bond strength of resin cements to zirconia varies significantly according to the test design. 26,28 The variability in results among these testing methods makes it difficult to establish a correlation between laboratory data and the clinical performance of tested materials.…”

“…[26][27][28] The bond strength of resin cements to zirconia varies significantly according to the test design. 26,28 The variability in results among these testing methods makes it difficult to establish a correlation between laboratory data and the clinical performance of tested materials. [29][30][31][32] A more clinically related method of testing the retention capability of dental cement is the crown retention test design, where crowns are cemented under a defined load and pulled off in an axial direction after the cement has set.…”

An insight into current concepts and techniques in resin bonding to high strength ceramics

“…42,138 Recently many authors have advocated microtensile bond strength testing (MTBS) where the load is applied perpendicular to the bonded interface and the specimen size is small. 78,84,102,123,131,132,139 However, the MTBS test is a tedious and meticulous method which requires time and effort, especially during preparing and sectioning of the specimens, to avoid damaging the microbars. 39,61,133 Furthermore, bond strength test findings should be combined with chemical analysis, 117 fractographic analysis [134][135][136][137] and cyclic loading.…”
