Iris Publishers - Online Journal of Dentistry & Oral Health| Comparing the Efficacy of Shear Bond Strength with Composite Attachments and Different Ceramic Surfaces-Zirconia, Lithium Disilicate, and Feldspathic Porcelain
Authored by Michael Backstrand, Introduction Introduction: Dental practitioners utilize many different dental materials to fabricate durable and aesthetic fixed prostheses. The practitioners may not be considering the future treatment options of their patients. In the field of orthodontics, there have traditionally been concerns about the bond strength between brackets and ceramic crown materials. However, as the popularity of esthetic treatment options continues to grow, there will be increased importance in extending this bonding knowledge to the application of the composite buttons utilized in clear aligner therapies. Since this bonding performance with the crown materials has been shown to be an issue in dentistry today, we investigated the most retentive ceramicbased crown materials to deliver optimal composite shear bond strength for attachment buttons. Methods: A search was performed on shear bond strength of composite resin materials to three common dent...
