Purpose:
This study was observed the effect of cleansing agents and adhesive resins on shear bond strength (SBS), surface morphology and phase transformation of saliva and silicone disclosing medium contaminated zirconia.
Methods:
The 110 zirconia specimens size 5×5×1mm were fabricated and randomly divided into 5 surface treated groups: Non-contaminated (PC) Saliva and silicone disclosing medium contaminated without cleansing (NC) Surface contaminated and cleansing with Phosphoric acid (PO) Ivoclean (IC) or Hydrofluoric acid (HF). The twenty of each surface treated specimens were selected and bonded with Panavia F2.0 (P) and Superbond C&B (S) for SBS test (n=10). The data was analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis H and Mann-Whitney U test. The remaining specimens of each surface treated groups were examined by SEM and XRD.
Results:
The saliva and silicone disclosing medium contaminated zirconia without cleansing group (PNC) had the lowest SBS when Panavia F2.0 was used for cementation (p<0.05). The SBS of surface cleansing groups (PPO, PIC and PHF) were not different from the non-contaminated group (PPC) (p>0.05). However, there were no difference in SBS among groups when cementation with Superbond C&B (SPC, SNC, SPO, SIC and SHF) (p>0.05). There was no morphologic changing that could be observed by SEM. The XRD showed little phase transformation when surfaces were contaminated and cleaned.
Conclusions:
The saliva and silicone disclosing medium contaminated zirconia should be cleaned with Phosphoric acid, Ivoclean or Hydrofluoric acid for 20s prior to cementation with Panavia F2.0. However, the surface cleansing was not necessary when cementation with Superbond C&B.

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.

Acid Strength and Molecular Structure
In the absence of any leveling effect, the acid strength of binary compounds of hydrogen with nonmetals (A) increases as the H-A bond strength decreases down a group in the periodic table. For group 17, the order of increasing acidity is HF < HCl < HBr < HI. Likewise, for group 16, the order of increasing acid strength is H2O < H2S < H2Se < H2Te. Across a row in the periodic table, the acid strength of binary hydrogen compounds increases with increasing...

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
