MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:6072. [PMID: 37763350 PMCID: PMC10650084 DOI: 10.3390/ma16186072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2023] [Revised: 08/17/2023] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023]
Abstract
Veneered zirconia ceramics are widely used for dental restorations. However, the relatively poor bonding strength between the ceramic core and veneer porcelain remains a common problem in clinical applications. To address this issue, this study focused on enhancing the core-veneer bond strength of zirconia restorations through the implementation of surface textures using digital light processing (DLP) technology. The light intensity was precisely tuned to optimize mechanical strength and minimize light scattering. Subsequently, hexagonal or square grids were printed on the surface of the zirconia ceramic core. Following veneering procedures, the shear bond strength (SBS) test was conducted using a universal testing machine. Dates were compared using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the least significant difference (LSD) test. Furthermore, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to examine the failure modes and observe the cross-sectional structures, respectively. The results indicated that the presence of a 0.09 mm high hexagon grid led to a significant 21% increase in the SBS value. However, grids with heights of 0.2 and 0.3 mm showed less improvement, owing to the formation of large defects at the interface during the fusion process. This study demonstrated the potential of DLP technology in preparing zirconia ceramics with complex structures and high mechanical strength, thereby offering promising solutions for overcoming challenges associated with dental applications.

Youssef MK, Abdelkader SH, Aly YM. Effect of different interfacial surface treatments on the shear bond strength of veneering ceramic and zirconia core. BMC Oral Health 2023; 23:363. [PMID: 37277822 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-023-03057-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 06/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several interfacial surface treatments of zirconia surfaces have been proposed to improve adhesion to ceramic veneering. However, information regarding the durability and effect of such treatments on the bond strength following such treatments is lacking. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aimed to evaluate the shear bond strength between veneering ceramic and zirconia core after different interfacial surface treatments. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-two discs (8 mm in diameter and 3 mm in height) were fabricated from zirconia blanks using a microtome cutting machine. Zirconia discs were divided into four groups (n = 13). Group I was subjected to air-borne abrasion using (Al2O3), group II was coated by bioglass, group III was coated with ZirLiner, and group IV was subjected to wash firing (sprinkle technique). A cylinder (4 mm in diameter and 3 mm in height) of veneering ceramic was fired on top of the zirconia core. Shear bond strength (SBS) between zirconia core and veneering ceramic was evaluated by using a universal testing machine. The data was collected and statistically analysed using One-Way ANOVA followed by multiple pairwise comparisons using Bonferroni adjusted significance level. The failure modes were assessed using a stereomicroscope for each group. RESULTS The highest mean bond strength was recorded in group III (17.98 ± 2.51 MPa), followed by group II (15.10 ± 4.53 MPa), then group I 14.65 ± 2.97 MPa. The lowest mean bond strength was recorded in group IV (13.28 ± 3.55 MPa). CONCLUSIONS Surface treatments had an effect on the zirconia-veneer shear bond strength. Liner coating revealed the highest shear bond strength values, significantly higher in comparison to wash firing (sprinkle technique) .

Abstract
Enteric-coated application on drug is used to prevent the drug from inactivation which are degraded by gastric enzyme. The present study is aimed at achieving controlled drug delivery in acidic medium of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) by enteric coating of hydroxy propyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and Eudragit L100 on carboxylated agarose hydrogel, creating a pH-dependent delivery system. Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was for the detection of carboxylic group on agarose hydrogel, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used for the determination surface of prepared formulation. To check the pH sensitivity of enteric-coated formulation, different pH solution was used. It was found that the formulation was not dissolved in 1.2 but dissolve in pH 6.8 similarly; hydrogels lacking coating showed that tartrazine was more dissolved in pH 1.2, and less dissolved at pH 6.8. The release of tartrazine from the hydrogels was measured by using spectrophotometer and using a scanning electron microscope to examine the morphology and surface appearance of hydrogel capsules. This study revealed cracks on coated samples, while noncoated samples showed clear appearance with no cracks. Our findings revealed that this method could be useful for the development of an enteric coating drug delivery system.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Delamination failure may occur between ceramic frameworks and veneering ceramics, shortening the lifetime of fixed dental prostheses in load-bearing areas. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the effect of different repeating CO2 laser treatment methods and conventional approaches on the shear bond strength of zirconia frameworks and veneering ceramics. MATERIAL AND METHODS Zirconia disks (N=110) were prepared and divided into 5 groups: milling without surface treatment (group M), airborne-particle abrasion (group APA), single laser treatment (group LX1), 2 laser treatments (group LX2), and 3 laser treatments (group LX3). The specimens in the first 2 groups were treated before the framework was coated using the spraying technique. Specimens in the remaining groups were coated with veneering ceramic using the spraying process, and then subjected to laser treatment. Surface roughness and topography, interface properties, phase transformation, shear bond strength, and fracture modes were investigated. Outcomes were analyzed using a profilometer, a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), a stereomicroscope, and a universal testing machine for mechanical testing. RESULTS The XRD showed that phase transformation from tetragonal to monoclinic occurred after airborne-particle abrasion. This phenomenon was not observed in laser-treated specimens. Groups LX2 and LX3 had the highest surface roughness values, 1.18 ±0.23 μm and 1.21 ±0.22 μm, among all groups, and group LX3 had the highest shear bond strength values for unaged and aged conditions, 32.08 ±2.45 MPa and 31.43 ±2.07 MPa. The mixed-fracture mode was the most common type of fracture observed. CONCLUSIONS The results indicated that the shear bond strength between the zirconia framework and veneering ceramic was higher after laser surface treatments than after milling alone or after airborne-particle abrasion. Laser treatment methods, particularly LX2 and LX3, could be considered reliable approaches for zirconia surface treatment.

Comparative Effectiveness of Multiple Laser Scanning and Conventional Techniques on Zirconia Shear Bond Strength. COATINGS 2019.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare the impact of different laser scanning with that of conventional methods on zirconia surface treatment through evaluation of shear bond strength (SBS) values. One hundred and thirty-two sintered zirconia cubic-samples were prepared and randomly divided into six study groups: milling control (without surface treatment); grinding; sandblasting; and three-times, four-times, and five-times laser scanning groups. The treatment process for the first three groups was performed before the zirconia coating, while the last three groups were treated after zirconia coating with veneer slurry through a spraying technique. In the current study, the surface roughness Ra, contact angle measurement, phase transformation, topography and interfaces, SBS in unaged and aged conditions, and fracture mode patterns of zirconia cores were investigated. The results were analyzed using laser confocal scanning microscopy, drop analyzer, X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), universal testing machine and stereomicroscope. The results indicated that three-times laser scanned specimens presented higher Ra values than the other studied groups. The minimum contact angle value was detected in the mentioned group, while the control group presented the highest value. The XRD showed phase transformation from tetragonal to monoclinic t–m following grinding and sandblasting. However, the laser scanned specimens and the control group preserved the structural integrity of the zirconia core, presenting the tetragonal phase only. The highest SBS values were recorded in specimens treated with three-times laser scanning in the unaged and aged conditions. A mixed fracture was a common fracture pattern among the studied groups. The results confirmed that SBS could be optimized through three-times laser scanning and it provided better adhesion between zirconia and the veneer ceramic material. Multiple scanning processes of more than three times are not recommended for zirconia surface treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the effect of different materials and techniques on the shear bond strength of veneering ceramic materials to zirconia. MATERIALS AND METHODS 136 sintered zirconia cubes were prepared and randomly divided into four study groups according to corresponding methods of surface treatment and materials: GLN (grinding followed by laser scanning using Noritake Cerabien ZR), SLN (sandblasting followed by laser scanning using Noritake Cerabien ZR), GLV (grinding followed by laser scanning using VITA VM 9), and SLV (sandblasting followed by laser scanning using VITA VM 9). Spraying technique was performed to coat the core. Profilometer, SEM, XRD, EDS, universal testing machine, and stereomicroscope were used to record surface roughness Ra, surface morphology, phase transformation, elemental compositions, shear bond strength SBS values, and failure types, respectively. Specimens were investigated in unaged (not immersed in artificial saliva) and aged (stored in artificial saliva for a month) conditions to evaluate SBS values. RESULTS Grinding and GLN as first and second surface treatments provided satisfactory Ra values in both conditions (1.05 ± 0.24 µm, 1.30 ± 0.21 µm) compared to sandblasting and other groups (P<.05). The group GLN showed the highest SBS values in both conditions (30.97 ± 3.12 MPa, 29.09 ± 4.17 MPa), while group SLV recorded the lowest (23.96 ± 3.60 MPa, 22.95 ± 3.68 Mpa) (P<.05). Sandblasting showed phase transformation from t-m. Mixed failure type was the commonest among all groups. CONCLUSION GLN showed to be a reliable method which provided satisfactory bond strength between the veneer ceramic and zirconia. This method might preserve the integrity of fixed dental crowns.
