Abstract
Backround:
The evolution of restorative materials in prosthodontics has led to the emergence of indirect composite resins, including ceromers, as alternatives to traditional metal-ceramic restorations. However, research gaps exist regarding the impact of ageing protocols on the bond strength of ceromer composites to different metal substructures, necessitating further investigation in this area.
Aim:
This study aimed to determine the effect of five different ageing protocols on the shear bond strength (SBS) of ceromer indirect composites on two different substructures.
Methods:
In this in vitro study, 120 metallic discs (10 × 2 mm) were cast from cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloy (n = 60) and spark erosion treated from grade V titanium (n = 60). Each sample was sandblasted. The M.L. primer (Shofu, Germany) and layers of opaque were applied to the surface following the manufacturer’s instructions. A special jig (6 × 2 mm) was placed on each disc. The ceromer was condensed in it and light-cured separately for 90 s. Following polishing, specimens were separated into five ageing groups: distilled water (as a control), thermal cycling, tea, coffee, and gastric acid immersion. All samples were placed in 37°C incubation for 28 days for distilled water, coffee, and tea, and 7 days for gastric acid immersion and thermal cycling for 5000 cycles (5-55°C). A universal test machine was used to measure the SBS. The samples were evaluated for failure modes using stereomicroscopy. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) (P < 0.05).
Results:
According to one-way ANOVA, the mean SBS (MPa) between the two groups was compared in each ageing protocol, and there were no significant differences between the Co-Cr-C and Ti-C groups (P > 0.05). The most frequent mode of failure in all groups was mixed.
Conclusions:
Applying the ageing protocols, the type of substructure material had no significant effect on the SBS of the ceromer indirect composite except for tea immersion.
