Aim:
The influence of tooth ridge-lap surface sandblasting with aluminium oxide particles was evaluated on the adhesion of artificial teeth to acrylic resins.
Methods:
Specimens were made with the acrylic resin adhered to teeth (BioCler GII), according to an unmodified surface, glossy surface sandblasted with 50-μm particles and conventional (Classico) or microwaved (Onda Cryl) resin, and a glossy surface sandblasted with 100-μm particles and Classico or Onda Cryl resin. The shear bond test was performed in an Instron machine using a 500-N load cell and cross-speed of 1 mm/min.
Results:
The analysis of variance revealed significant difference in the tooth-resin shear bond strength for resin, surface treatment, and interaction. For conventional resin, control, 50-, and 100-μm particles showed statistically-different values; for microwaved resin, the control showed less statistical difference when compared to 50- and 100-μm particle treatments; for between resins, only the 100-μm particle treatment showed statistically-different values, with lower values for the microwaved resin. Mixed failures (cohesive in the resin and adhesive) were predominantly observed in all groups. Mixed (cohesive in the tooth and adhesive) or adhesive failures were not observed.
Conclusions:
Sandblasting with different aluminium oxide particle sizes produced different effects on the shear strength values of the tooth-resin bond.
