Abstract:
This study evaluated the shear bond strength of zirconia to titanium implant components using silica-based glasses and compared the strength with that of implant components bonded using a commercial resin cement. Forty cylindrical zirconia specimens and forty titanium disks (Grade IV) were divided equally into four groups, depending on the adhesive used: three different types of glasses (group G, group GI, group GIB) and a self-adhesive resin cement (group U200), which was used as a control. The shear bond strength was evaluated using a universal testing machine and failure mode was examined by optical microscope. Data was analyzed using One-way ANOVA with p-value <0.05, which was considered statistically significant. The shear bond strength of the three glass groups was significantly higher than that of group U200 (p<0.05). Failure mode in all groups was a combination of adhesive and cohesive modes. Shear bond strength of zirconia to titanium bonded using glasses was higher than that using self-adhesive resin cement.

Ionic Bonds
When atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a more stable electron configuration they form ions. Ionic bonds are electrostatic attractions between ions with opposite charges. Ionic compounds are rigid and brittle when solid and may dissociate into their constituent ions in water. Covalent compounds, by contrast, remain intact unless a chemical reaction breaks them.
