Effect of different bonding agents on shear bond strengths of composite-bonded porcelain to enamel

Effect of etchant variability on shear bond strength of all ceramic restorations - an in vitro study

“…Also 300 g standard weight was applied during luting the ceramic to the tooth with the help of alignment block [11].…”

“…The Bis-GMA dual-cure resin cement Variolink II (Ivoclar-Vivadent Schaan Liechtenstein) was mixed according to manufacturers instructions and placed on the surface treated IPS Empress 2 ceramic sample and positioned on the treated tooth specimens with the help of alignment blocks under static load of 300 g to get uniform film thickness [11]. A visible light unit was used with the light beam directed approximately 45°at the intersection of the porcelain bonding sites to the dentin.…”

Adhesive performance of a caries infiltrant on sound and demineralised enamel

“…Heliobond was chosen as a representative of an unfilled enamel bonding agent as it is an established adhesive in enamel adhesion tests [25][26][27] and exhibit potential to penetrate early enamel lesions. 20,21 However, it has to be considered that natural enamel lesions might be much deeper than the artificial lesions created in the present study ($100 mm), which might lead to an incomplete penetration and, thus, reduced bond strength of the agents under clinical conditions.…”

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

“…23,42,133 Future studies should also include a combined tooth/composite/ porcelain interface in the test complex. 42,61,123,130,133 Kern emphasized the need for clinical evidence of successful bonding of ceramic restorations as a vast majority of the articles present laboratory research, while clinical trials are rare. 125 He reviewed the clinical trials with resin bonded alumina and zirconia ceramic restorations that had limited mechanical retention and relied solely on adhesion.…”
