Abstract
This study aimed to develop a low-toxicity etchant for bonding pretreatment of silica-based CAD-CAM materials. An experimental etchant was prepared by combining ammonium hydrogen fluoride (AHF) with ammonium hydrogen sulfate (AHS) and subsequently optimized. The optimized AHF/AHS etchant was evaluated on lithium disilicate glass, feldspathic porcelain, polymer-infiltrated ceramic network, and resin composite, and compared with hydrofluoric acid (HF), a commercial etchant (Monobond Etch & Prime; MEP), and alumina sandblasting. For lithium disilicate glass, shear bond strength (SBS) obtained with AHF/AHS treatment was higher than that with MEP but lower than that with HF. For feldspathic porcelain and polymer-infiltrated ceramic network, SBS obtained with AHF/AHS was comparable to those obtained with HF. For resin composite, SBS obtained with AHF/AHS was higher than that with untreated control while lower than that with sandblasting. Cytotoxicity evaluated using human gingival fibroblasts showed IC50 values comparable to those of phosphoric acid and sodium fluoride.
期刊介绍:
Dental Materials Journal is a peer review journal published by the Japanese Society for Dental Materials and Devises aiming to introduce the progress of the basic and applied sciences in dental materials and biomaterials. The dental materials-related clinical science and instrumental technologies are also within the scope of this journal. The materials dealt include synthetic polymers, ceramics, metals and tissue-derived biomaterials. Forefront dental materials and biomaterials used in developing filed, such as tissue engineering, bioengineering and artificial intelligence, are positively considered for the review as well. Recent acceptance rate of the submitted manuscript in the journal is around 30%.
