Effect of air abrasion and dye on the surface element ratio and resin bond of zirconia ceramic

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the surface element composition and roughness of dyed or non-dyed zirconia ceramic by air abrasion on the bond durability to resin luting cement. The sintered zirconia ceramic specimens were divided into four groups as follows: polished, dyed/p...

Description
Summary:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the surface element composition and roughness of dyed or non-dyed zirconia ceramic by air abrasion on the bond durability to resin luting cement. The sintered zirconia ceramic specimens were divided into four groups as follows: polished, dyed/polished, abraded, dyed/abraded. The surface roughness of each group was measured by a 3D laser scanning microscope. Energy-dispersive spectroscopy was applied for identifying and quantifying the elemental composition of the zirconia ceramic surfaces Each group had 20 shear test specimens of zirconia to Panavia F and was divided into two subgroups (n = 10) after 0 or 10 000 thermal cycles to receive the shear test. Compared with polishing, air abrasion significantly reduced the oxygen atom and weight ratio, increased the zirconium atom and weight ratio, increased R(a) and R(y) of zirconia ceramic surface, and also increased the bond strength of dyed and non-dyed zirconia ceramic to Panavia F after 0 and 10 000 thermal cycles. The dying procedure could affect the abraded and non-abraded zirconia ceramic surface oxygen and zirconia element ratios and surface characteristics. However, the dying procedure does not affect the resin bond strength and durability of zirconia ceramic.Corrections were made to this article on 3 November 2011.
