Effect of Physicochemical Surface Treatments on the Bond Strength and Adhesion of Porcelain Denture Teeth to Heat-Polymerized Acrylic Resin Denture Base Material
The aim of this study was to compare the effect of physicochemical surface treatments on the adhesive bond strength of porcelain denture teeth (PDT) to acrylic resin denture base material (PMMA). Totally, 100 PDT specimens, 50 with retentive palatal pins (+P) and 50 without pins (-P), were selected and assigned to 10 experimental groups (n = 10). Control groups CON-P and CON+P, did not receive any treatment. Groups SB+P and SB-P were sandblasted, groups SB/AE+P and SB/AE-P were sandblasted and acid-etched, groups TSC+P and TSC-P were tribochemically silica-coated, and groups FB+P and FB-P were covered with fibers. Cylindrical PMMA rods were polymerized onto treated palatal PDT surfaces. Force (N) was applied on palatal incisal edges of PDT specimens until debonding of PMMA. Obtained data were statistically analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis and Bonferroni corrected Mann Whitney U tests. The significance level was set at (p<.05). Mean force values of test groups ranged in descending order as follows: TSC+P (132.5N +/- 26.5), SB+P (113.5N +/- 47.5), SB/AE+P (112.2N +/- 26.1), CON+P (103.1N +/- 39.6), TSC-P (90.6N +/- 22.2), FB+P (77.7N +/- 18.3), SB/AE-P (47.6N +/- 10.5), SB-P (18.1N +/- 4.0), CON-P (4.6N +/- 5.4), and FB-P (0.0N +/- 0.0). No significant difference was found between groups with pins (+P) except group FB+P which displayed lower values than CON+P (p<.024), and TSC+P (p<045). Groups (+P) showed significantly higher bond strength values than groups (-P) except for group TSC-P (p<.09 and p<1). In groups without pins (P-), differences between groups were significant and ranged as follows: TSC-P>SB/AE-P (p<.0094), SB/AE-P>SB-P (p<.007), and SB-P>CON-P (p<.0013). Groups CON-P and FB-P did not show differences (p <= 1). Groups (+P) displayed higher bond strength values than groups (-P). SB-P, SB/AE-P, and TSC-P increased the adhesive bond between PDT and PMMA, respectively. Fiber coating negatively affected the bond.
