Objectives The bonding interface of glass ceramics and resin luting cements plays an
important role in the long-term durability of ceramic restorations. The purpose of this …

Ceramics are very important in the science of dental biomaterials. Among all dental
ceramics, zirconia is in evidence as a dental biomaterial and it is the material of choice in …

Statement of problem With a number of zirconia ceramic materials currently available for
clinical use, an overview of the scientific literature on the adhesion methods and their …

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Surface treatment methods used for resin bonding to
conventional silica-based dental ceramics are not reliable for zirconium-oxide ceramics …

The current laboratory study is evaluating the effect of hydrofluoric acid etching duration on
the surface characteristics of five silica-based glass ceramics. Changes in the pore pattern …

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of different acid etching times on the surface
roughness and flexural strength of a lithium disilicate-based glass ceramic. Ceramic bar …

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: In contrast to gold crowns, in vitro determination of the retentive
strength of all-ceramic crowns is more difficult because components allowing connection to …
