Summary
Hydrofluoric acid (HF) remains the gold standard for surface treatment of hybrid ceramics, enhancing bond strength for dental cementation. This review analyzed various protocols to determine optimal methods for these advanced dental materials.
Area of Science:
- Dental Materials Science
- Biomaterials Engineering
- Restorative Dentistry
Background:
- Hybrid polymer-ceramic materials offer advantages over traditional high modulus materials like zirconia and alumina.
- These materials exhibit lower stress concentrations, improving outcomes in tooth structure and bonding interfaces.
- Understanding optimal cementation protocols is crucial for their successful clinical application.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct an integrative review and meta-analysis.
- To evaluate viable cementation protocols for hybrid polymer-ceramic materials.
- To identify the most effective surface treatment methods.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review adhering to PRISMA criteria.
- Comprehensive electronic search across seven major scientific databases.
- Inclusion of studies on hybrid ceramics, surface treatment, and bond strength testing, analyzed via the RayYan platform.
Main Results:
- Twenty-four studies were included from an initial 160 articles.
- Common hybrid ceramics (e.g., Vita ENAMIC, LAVA ULTIMATE) and surface treatments (HF, Alumina blasting, Silane, Laser) were analyzed.
- Variations in treatment times and concentrations were noted across studies.
Conclusions:
- Hydrofluoric acid (HF) corrosion is confirmed as the gold standard for hybrid ceramic surface treatment.
- This finding supports enhanced bond strength and reliable cementation outcomes.
- Further research may explore optimized protocols based on these established methods.

01:24Hydration of Cement
201
Hydration of cement is a chemical reaction between cement particles and water. This process occurs primarily through two mechanisms: through-solution and topochemical. In the through-solution process, anhydrous compounds dissolve into their constituents, hydrates form in the solution, and then precipitate from the supersaturated solution. The topochemical process involves solid-state reactions at the cement particle surface. The through-solution process dominates the topochemical process at the...

01:18Porosity in Cement Paste
117
The porosity of concrete is a measure of the void spaces within its structure. These spaces impact its strength and durability significantly. When water and cement interact, a chemical reaction called hydration creates a semi-solid paste. This paste includes combined water, making up approximately 23% of the cement's dry mass, and gel water, which fills minuscule voids known as gel pores, accounting for about 28% of the cement gel volume.

01:29Strength and Heat of Hydration
215
The hydration of cement is an exothermic reaction in which heat is generated as cement hydrates. This heat of hydration is critical to cement's strength development. The rate at which this heat is generated affects the temperature rise, with a majority of the heat being released early in the hydration process, half within the first three days, and about 75% within the first week.

01:22Types of Cement II

Portland blast-furnace cement is made by blending Portland cement clinker with granulated blast-furnace slag, which accounts for 25 to 65 percent of the cement's weight. Despite its similarities to ordinary Portland (Type I) cement in terms of fineness and setting times, its early strength is lower, though it achieves comparable strength later on. It's particularly suited for mass concrete structures and marine environments due to its lower heat of hydration and superior sulfate...

Portland cement comes in several types, each with distinct properties and applications based on their chemical composition and hydration characteristics:
Type I (Ordinary Portland Cement) is widely used for general construction where special properties are not required. It has moderate sulfate resistance and heat of hydration.
Type II (Modified Cement) offers moderate resistance to sulfate attack and a lower rate of heat development compared to Type I. It is suitable for structures in...

01:12Setting Time of Cement
149
The setting time of cement refers to the process of cement paste transitioning from a plastic state to a solid state. This process is crucial in construction as it dictates the timeframe for concrete placement, compaction, and finishing. The onset of this solidification is termed the initial set, indicating when the paste becomes unworkable. The final set is when the paste has solidified completely, and further handling or manipulation can no longer affect its shape. The cement strength is...
