Abstract: | The effects of TiO2-SiO2 sol-gel coating with different firing temperatures (300 °C, 500 °C, and 750 °C) on the cpTi-porcelain bond strength were investigated in the present study. Prior to applying the low-fusing dental titanium porcelain, the phase, surface morphology, surface roughness and static water contact angle of the intermediate layer were evaluated. The cpTi-porcelain bond strength was measured using the three-point flexure test according to ISO 9693 standard. Statistical analyses were made using one-way ANOVA and Dunnett-t test. Significantly higher bond strength of TiO2-SiO2/750 °C (specimens coated with TiO2-SiO2 sol-gel coating and fired at 750 °C for 1 h) when compared to the control group was observed (p < 0.05). No rutile phase was found in all the tested specimens coated with TiO2-SiO2 sol-gel coating. The surface morphology of the intermediate layer was apparently different with different firing temperatures. It was found that the static water contact angle of TiO2-SiO2/750 °C significantly decreased (p < 0.05). However, no markedly different Ra of TiO2-SiO2/500 °C and TiO2-SiO2/750 °C in comparison to that of the control group was observed (p > 0.05). The results show that the TiO2-SiO2 sol-gel coating fired at 750 °C for 1 h can notably improve the cpTi-porcelain bond strength and may be suitable for clinical use. |
