Materials and Methods: Ten blocks (5 ×6 × 8 mm) of In-Ceram Alumina (AL), In-Ceram Zirconia (ZR), and Procera (PR) ceramics were fabricated according to each manufacturer's instructions and duplicated in composite. The specimens were assigned to one of the two following treatment conditions: (1) airborne particle abrasion with 110-μm Al2O3 particles + silanization, (2) silica coating with 30 μm SiOx particles (CoJet, 3M ESPE) + silanization. Each ceramic block was duplicated in composite resin (W3D-Master, Wilcos, Petrópolis, RJ, Brazil) using a mold made out of silicon impression material. Composite resin layers were incrementally condensed into the mold to fill up the mold and each layer was light polymerized for 40 s. The composite blocks were bonded to the surface-conditioned ceramic blocks using a resin cement system (Panavia F, Kuraray, Okayama, Japan). One composite resin block was fabricated for each ceramic block. The ceramic-composite was stored at 37°C in distilled water for 7 days prior to bond tests. The blocks were cut under water cooling to produce bar specimens (n = 30) with a bonding area of approximately 0.6 mm2. The bond strength tests were performed in a universal testing machine (crosshead speed: 1 mm/min). Bond strength values were statistically analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (≤ 0.05). Results: Silica coating with silanization increased the bond strength significantly for all three high-strength ceramics (18.5 to 31.2 MPa) compared to that of airborne particle abrasion with 110-μm Al2O3 (12.7-17.3 MPa) (ANOVA, p < 0.05). PR exhibited the lowest bond strengths after both Al2O3 and silica coating (12.7 and 18.5 MPa, respectively). Conclusion: Conditioning the high-strength ceramic surfaces with silica coating and silanization provided higher bond strengths of the resin cement than with airborne particle abrasion with 110-μm Al2O3 and silanization.175-181engBond strengthCeramicsMicrotensile testSilica coatingSurface conditioning methodsAllCeramaluminum oxideIn Ceram AluminaIn Ceram ZirconiaIn-Ceram AluminaIn-Ceram ZirconiaPanavia FluoroPanavia-Fluororesinresin cementsilane derivativesilicon dioxidewaterzirconiumzirconium oxideceramicschemistrycomparative studydental bondingdental caredental surgeryhumaninstrumentationmaterials testingmechanical stresssurface propertytemperaturetensile strengthtooth prosthesisAir Abrasion, DentalAluminum OxideComposite ResinsDental BondingDental PorcelainDental Stress AnalysisHumansMaterials TestingResin CementsSilanesSilicon DioxideStress, MechanicalSurface PropertiesTemperatureTensile StrengthWaterZirconiumArtigoWOS:000238381600006Acesso restrito2-s2.0-337457431709234456003563666
