Abstract:When it comes to providing reliable adhesion of low silica content alumina ceramic, hydrofluoric acid etching along with silanization has not shown sufficient efficacy because the microstructure of high-alumina content ceramics is unable to degrade them. The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of surface sandblasting of zirconia-based ceramic stabilized by yttria as used in dental prostheses, using a SEM and roughness average. The samples were divided in control, no surface treatment; Al2O3sandbl… Show more
