Clinical RelevanceChairside tribochemical silica coating and silanization on the YTZP surface appears to be essential to adhere this substrate to resin cements. Cleaning with isopropanol promotes weak and unstable resin adhesion. Conditioned ceramics were divided into four groups to receive the resin cements (Panavia F 2.0, Variolink II, RelyX U100 and Maxcem). After 24 hours, half of the specimens (n=12) from each group were submitted to shear bond strength testing (0.5 mm/minute). The remaining specimens were tested after 90 days of water storage at 37°C and thermocycling (12,000x, 5°C-55°C). Failure types were then assessed. The data were analyzed using three-way ANOVA and the Tukey's test (α α=0.05). Results: Significant effects of ceramic conditioning, cement type and storage conditions were observed (p<0.0001). The groups cleaned using alcohol only showed low bond strength values in dry conditions and the bond strength was reduced dramatically after aging. Groups conditioned using silica coating and silanization showed higher bond strengths both in dry and aged conditions. A high number of specimens failed prematurely prior to testing when they were cleaned using 96% isopropanol. Conclusion: Overall, silica coating and silanization showed higher, stable bond strengths with and without aging. The durability of resin-ceramic adhesion varied, depending on the adhesive cement type.
