Effect of 4-META on microtensile bond strength of cements to ceramics

Conclusion: According to the results of this pilot study, the addition of 4 ‑META (10%) to silanecaused a significant improvement in μTBS to light‑cure cement. The addition of 4‑META in allconcentrations significantly improved the μTBS to Enamic ceramic in the use of dual‑cure cement;however, it had no significant effect on μTBS of Celtra Duo. Nonetheless, the results should beinterpreted with caution due to the relatively small sample size.Key Words: Ceramics, resin cements, silanes, tensile strength
