Abstract
Aims
Impact of different pretreatment regimes i.e., Hydrofluoric (HF) acid, ytterbium fiber laser (YFL), Malachite green (MG) activated low level laser therapy (LLLT) on the surface topography, contact angle, and shear bond strength (SBS) of Lithium disilicate ceramic (LDC) bonded to 1 % hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HANPs) incorporated self-adhesive resin cement (SARC)
Material and methods
Seventy-Eight LDC discs were obtained and were arbitrarily assigned into three groups based on different surface conditioning techniques (n = 26) Group 1: HF Acid, Group 2: YFL and Group 3: MG-LLLT. A contact angle measurement was performed on five samples from each group using a goniometer. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyzed the surface topographic changes after different pretreatments. The SARC was modified using 1 % HANP, followed by the degree of conversion (DC). Twenty discs from each group were further divided into two subgroups based on the application of the type of SARC, Unmodified SARC (A) and HANP-modified SARC (B) (n = 10). Both the cements were built on the LDC discs and were subjected to SBS and failure mode testing through the utilization of a universal testing machine and a stereomicroscope. The means of the contact angle and SBS were subjected to a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by post hoc Tukey's test (p = 0.05).
Result
Group 3 MG-LLLT-treated LDC discs achieved the highest contact angle (32.2 ± 1.9). Whereas Group 2 (YFL) (9.6 ± 0.9) conditioned discs presented the lowest contact angle. The specimens categorized under Group 2B (YFL + HANPs modified SARC) (11.22 ± 1.1 MPa) achieved the highest bond strength. Conversely, the LDC discs within Group 3A (MG-LLLT + SARC) displayed the lowest bond values (5.29 ± 0.8 MPa). Moreover, 1 % HANPs incorporated SARC displayed significantly higher DC (61.6 ± 0.72 %) than that of the control (52.3 ± 0.68) (p˂0.05).
Conclusion
Ytterbium fiber laser can be used as a substitute for conditioning lithium disilicate ceramics, as it reduces the contact angle and improves the bond strength of adhesive resin cement. Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles incorporated into the self-adhesive resin cement resulted in a higher degree of conversion and shear bond strength to the lithium disilicate ceramic.
