Does Sandblasting Improve Bond Strength between Nano-ceramic Resin and Two Different Luting Composites?

Published in Bioceramics Development and Applications

Purpose: To assess the influence of a sandblasting surface treatment on the shear bond strength (SBS) between a recently introduced Resin Nano-Ceramic (RNC) CAD/CAM material and two resin cements. Methods: 40 RNC blocks were divided into two groups (n=20): a control (C) and a test group (S_50) to which air abrasion (50 µm, 0.28 MPa, and 10s) was ap...
