Abstract
Improvement of Bond Strength between Zirconia Framework and Veneering Porcelain
Yuhui Chen, Chuhua Tang, Shenggen Shi, Wenjie Si and Xiao Liu
A series of specimens with different surface morphology, pre-sintering process, and sintering temperature were designed for studying the improvement of bond strength between zirconia framework and veneering porcelain. Shear strength test, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS) were adopted in the investigation. A remarkably enhance of average bond strength from 24.1 MPa to 37.2 MPa was obtained by performing humps on zirconia substrate. Moreover, a pre-sintering process for bonding porcelain was beneficial to the increasing of bond strength. Hence, during all-ceramic dental restoration fabrication, it is promising to perform surface treatment on zirconia and conduct pre-sintering procedure on bonding porcelain for the improvement of bond strength between zirconia framework and veneering porcelain.
