Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of two repair composites (Crea.lign vs. PermaFlo) to a base metal alloy and zirconia ceramic.

Materials and Methods: Sixty-four discs (12mm diameter, 1mm thickness) were fabricated using Wirobond base metal alloy and zirconia. They were then bonded with their respective composite resins (N=16) in each of the two porcelain chipping repair kit subgroups consisting of PermaFlo and Crea.lign. All specimens were stored in 37°C distilled water for 24 hours. Half of them were subjected to 10,000 thermal cycles (5-55°C, 30s). All specimens were tested for SBS with a universal testing machine. Failure types were analyzed using a digital camera. Analysis of the data was done by two-way ANOVA and Bonferroni post-hoc tests.

Results: SBS was significantly affected by the type of composite resin. PermaFlo had a significantly higher SBS than Crea.lign to base metal alloy (P<0.001) and zirconia ceramic (P<0.001). Thermocycling decreased the SBS of both composites to base metal alloy (P<0.001) and zirconia (P<0.001).

Conclusion: A universal adhesive could provide higher shear bond strength of zirconia and base metal alloy to composite resin than Crea.lign composite and the MKZ primer supplied by its manufacturer.
