| Abstract: | ABSTRACTBonding behaviours of a novel self-glazed zirconia dental material were investigated. The effect of a preformed porous nanoceramic bonding surface and the different cleansing methods on saliva-contaminated bonding surfaces was assessed in this in vitro study. Cleaning procedures commonly used in dental offices were tested. All specimens demonstrated adhesive fracture patterns except for airborne particle abrasion group, which resulted in mixed-type fracture pattern and the highest bonding force values. No statistically significant differences in bonding force values were found between self-glazed zirconia with and without a preformed porous nanoceramic bonding surface when bonded with the self-adhesive resin cement (RelyX? Unicem 2). Scanning electron micrographs revealed no interaction between the bonding surface and the resin cement after priming. Mechanical retention is the predominant bonding mechanism between the bonding surface and the luting resin cement. |
