Effects of sandblasting of prosthetic abutment surfaces on the tensile strength of cement-retained crowns, using a cementing technique: an in vitro study
Abstract:Objective: The tensile strength effects on the sandblasting of the abutment associated with a cementing technique are not well documented. The objective of this study is to analyze the tensile strength of prosthetic crowns cemented on standard and sandblasted abutments, using a cementing technique. Methods: Experimental groups were formed according to cementing technique (control and practice abutment technique) and prosthetic abutment roughness (standard and sandblasted), totaling forty specimens. The crown… Show more
