Article Abstract
The effects of several ceramic surface treatments on bond strength of a polymer-infiltrated ceramic network and resin composite as repair material were evaluated. CAD-CAM blocks of a polymer-infiltrated ceramic network (Vita Enamic) were sliced and subjected to aging process, followed by embedding in acrylic resin. The bonding/repair area was treated as follows (n = 30): C- without treatment; UA- universal adhesive application; FM- 10% hydrofluoric acid and silane application; OM-airborne-particle abrasion with aluminum oxide and silane application; RP- tribochemical silica coating; and CA- surface grinding and application of universal adhesive. Composite resin cylinders were made on the treated surface. Specimens from each group were assigned randomly to two subgroups (n = 15) considering storage condition: Baseline (shear tests after 48 hours) or Storage (tests after 6 months under distilled water). The treated surfaces were analyzed by goniometry, roughness, and SEM. Two-way ANOVA and 1-way ANOVA were applied to analyze the bond data and roughness / contact angle data, respectively, followed by Tukey's test (α = 5%). Surface treatments and storage conditions affected bond strengths (p < 0.01). Surface grinding (CA) followed by universal adhesive promoted the highest value of bond strength (14.5 ± 4.8 MPa for baseline, 8.5 ± 3.4 MPa for storage) and the roughest ceramic surface. Grinding with silicon carbide paper (simulating diamond bur) followed by the application of a universal adhesive system is the best option for repairing fractures of the polymer-infiltrated ceramic network.

Femtosecond laser versus hydrofluoric acid: Effects on the resin bond strength of CAD/CAM materials.

This study evaluated the influence of femtosecond (fs) laser micromachining and hydrofluoric acid (HF)-etching on the surface roughness (Ra) and resin bond strength of restorative materials. The study used 120 rectangular-shaped specimens from four computer-aided design/manufacturing (CAD/CAM) blocks (lithium-disilicate glass-ceramic [LDS; e.max CAD], leucite-reinforced glass-ceramic [LGC; Empress CAD], zirconia-reinforced lithium-silicate [ZLS; Vita Suprinity], and polymer-infiltrated-ceramic-network [PICN; Vita Enamic]) and divided them into three subgroups based on the surface treatments applied: Control, HF-etching (HF), and fs-laser irradiation (FS).

Determining the optimal statistical method is key for reliable interpretation of the flexural strength test. To date, statistical recommendations regarding the best approach and sample size are based on theoretical assumptions that may not hold in practice. Therefore, this study identified the optimal statistical approach for analyzing the flexural strength of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) composites using a real dataset.

Purpose: With increasing demand for aesthetic, metal-free restorations, all-ceramic materials have gained popularity in implant prosthodontics. However, questions regarding their long-term performance, material selection, and design features remain unresolved. This guideline, developed by the German Association of Oral Implantology (DGI) in collaboration with the German Society of Dentistry and Oral Medicine (DGZMK), aims to enhance treatment safety, guide clinical decision-making, and improve patient education concerning all-ceramic implant-supported restorations.

Purpose: To evaluate how commercially available composite resins in varying filler content affect the fabrication and fit accuracy (trueness and precision) of additively manufactured (AM) definitive crowns with different margin thickness and cement gaps by comparing them to subtractively manufactured (SM) polymer-infiltrated ceramic crowns.
Materials And Methods: Two identical unprepared mandibular right first molars were prepared by an experienced prosthodontist for crowns with either 0.5 mm or 1.
