Bonding strengths of porcelain repair systems with various surface treatments

Repairing Ceramic Restorations: Final Solution or Alternative Procedure?

“…Several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of its use on the surface treatment of dental ceramics. [5][6][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] However, a consensus has not yet been reached regarding its indication, as similar outcomes to those obtained with hydrofluoric acid have been reported with other surface treatment methods.…”

Carbon dioxide laser application enhances the effect of silane primer on the shear bond strength between porcelain and composite resin

“…Notwithstanding the spectrum of different causative factors, adhesion of composite resin to porcelain has been identified as one technique to repair fractured porcelain veneers 5,6) . To improve the bond strength of composite resin to porcelain, porcelain surface treatments such as diamond roughening, air-particle abrasion with aluminum oxide, and etching with acids have been investigated under in vitro conditions [7][8][9] . Recently, silane coupling agents were also introduced to enhance the bond strength of composite resins to silica-based ceramics 10,11) .…”

Influence of surface treatment on bond strength of resin cements to a nickel alloy

“…The use of aluminum oxide blasting to clean the prosthetic parts and the increase in micro-mechanical retention prior to cementation has become a commonly used procedure since a significant increase in bond strength has been noted between the metal and the resin, when the metal's surface is sandblasted with aluminum oxide 13 .…”
