Effect of glass –ceramic coating versus alumina air-abrasion on the bond strength and residual stress of zirconia

ConclusionsThe DCMhotbond glass –ceramic coated zirconia showed comparable bond strength to the alumina air-abrasion technique.Clinical RelevanceThe DCMhotbond glass –ceramic coating technique is a promising alternative for zirconia surface pre-treatment. However, further investigations are needed before suggesting its clinical use.
