PubMed ID (PMID): 17695876Pages 417-418, Language: EnglishYoshida, Keiichi / Kamada, Kohji / Atsuta, MitsuruThis study evaluated the shear bond strength of a newly developed resin bonding system, including single-liquid ceramic primer and dual-cured resin luting agent, to 5 ceramic materials (feldspathic porcelain, machinable ceramic, In-Ceram Alumina, Procera AllCeram alumina, and Cercon). Ceramic specimens were cleaned with phosphoric acid, treated with primer, and bonded with a resin luting agent. Shear bond strength was determined after 24 hours of immersion in water and/or 10,000 thermocycles. There were no significant differences in bond strength before and after thermocycling for the 5 ceramic materials (P > .05). The findings indicate that the resin bonding system may offer an acceptable performance in terms of clinical success for the 5 ceramic restorations.
