Silica coating followed by heat ‐treatment of MDP‐primer for resin bond stability to yttria‐stabilized zirconia polycrystals

This study evaluated the influence of silica coating, primer type and its heat treatment on bond strength durability between resin cement and an yttrium‐stabilized polycrystalline tetragonal zirconia (Y‐TZP). Eighty (80) Y‐TZP blocks were allocated into 16 groups considering four factors: silica coating (without and with); type of primer (RelyX Ceramic Primer, a silane‐based primer; Single Bond Universal, a universal MDP‐based primer); heat treatment of the primer (without and with); aging (without and with). After zirconia treatments, resin cement cylinders (RelyX ARC) (n = 20; N = 320) were built. Half of the samples were tested after 24 h, and another half were subjected to aging (thermocycling 5–55°C/5.000, and storage in water for 6 months). Shear bond strength test and failure analysis were performed. Bond strength data were submitted to four‐way ANOVA and Tukey test (p = 0.05). All factors were statistically significant (p < 0.001) for bond strength (MPa): silica coating (7.3 ± 5.9) > no‐treatment (3.6 ± 4.3); universal primer (6.7 ± 4.8) > silane (4.2 ± 5.8); heat‐treatment (6.5 ± 6.3) > no‐heating (4.4 ± 4.3); no‐aging (8.2 ± 5) > aging (2.7 ± 4.4). Tukey test revealed that the association of silica coating + universal primer + heat‐treatment promoted higher and stable resin bond strength. Silica coating, universal adhesive application and heat trea...
