Abstract:
This study investigated bond strength of CAD/CAM-manufactured composite resin and ceramic veneers to a zirconia framework and analyzed the effect of treatments of veneer surfaces. A CAD/CAM resin-based (AVE) composite or lithium disilicate ceramic (IEC) block was used as the veneer material. AVE and IEC specimens were assigned to receive one of three surface treatments (n = 22): no surface treatment, acid-etching with 9.5% hydrofluoric acid gel, and airborne-particle abrasion with alumina particles. Zirconia disks and AVE or IEC specimens in each group were bonded with a resin-based luting agent, and shear bond strength of the specimens was measured at 0 and 20,000 thermocycles. Significant differences were assessed by the Steel-Dwass test for multiple comparisons and Mann-Whitney U-test (α = 0.05). As compared with other surface treatments, bond strengths were significantly higher at 0 and 20,000 thermocycles in the airborne-particle abraded AVE and acid-etched IEC specimens. Airborne-particle abrasion of the surface of AVE specimens increased bond strength between AVE veneers and zirconia frameworks, while hydrofluoric acid treatment enhanced bond strength between IEC veneers and zirconia frameworks.

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...
