Abstract:Purpose:
The aim of this study is to compare the bond strength of lingual brackets bonded to
resin-matrix and lithium disilicate based-ceramic crowns following various surface
treatments.
Materials and methods:
Sixty ceramic crowns (IPS Emax and Cerasmart) were fabricated by CAD/CAM.
Er,Cr:YSGG laser, sandblasting with aluminium oxide and hydrofluoric acid treatment
effects on ceramics was tested (n=10/group). A light-cure orthodontic adhesive
was used to bond lingual b… Show more
