Background:
Considering the increasing demand of patients for esthetic and durable restorations, zirconia, with its excellent mechanical properties, has overcome most of the limitations of all-ceramic restorations. However, bonding to zirconia is still challenging.
Objectives:
This study compared the effect of 2 universal adhesives on the microshear bond strength of resin cement to zirconia after 24 h and 6 months of water storage.
Material And Methods:
This in vitro experimental study was performed on 56 zirconia (Prettau® Zirconia) blocks, which were randomly divided into 2 groups. The ScotchbondTM Universal single-component adhesive and the All-Bond UniversalTM 2-component adhesive were used. The PANAVIATM F 2.0 resin cement was bonded to all samples, and they were stored in distilled water for 24 h and 6 months. The microshear bond strength test was then performed, and the data was analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests.
Results:
After 24 h of water storage, the All-Bond samples showed significantly higher microshear bond strength than the Scotchbond samples (p < 0.001), but at 6 months, the microshear bond strength of Scotchbond was higher. The bond strength of All-Bond decreased after 6 months (p < 0.001), but no significant change occurred in the bond strength of the Scotchbond samples over time.
Conclusions:
The microshear bond strength of resin cement to zirconia depends on the type of adhesive and the duration of water storage. The Scotchbond Universal adhesive resulted in a stronger bond in the long term.

For compressive strength tests, ASTM C 109-05 standards prescribe a cement-sand mix ratio of 1:2.75 and a water/cement ratio of 0.485 for making 2-inch cubes. These cubes are mixed, cast, and cured in saturated lime water at 23°C until testing. Flexural strength testing, outlined in...

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.

03:05Acid 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...
