Purpose of the study: In vivo repair of fractured ceramic restorations with composite resin is a viable alternative to total replacement of the restoration and there is a need to find out the bond strength between the ceramic and composite resin to obtain a clinically acceptable restoration.
Objectives: To find out and compare
Materials and Methods: Twelve Nickel chromium alloy discs of size 12mm x 1.5mm were casted and feldspathic ceramic was built up on them. Twelve discs were made in pressable ceramic and twelve discs were milled using CAD/CAM technology. All the specimens were embedded in acrylic resin blocks. Half the specimens were treated with HF (9.6%) and the remaining half was treated with APF gel (1.23%). The specimens were further treated with silane coupling agent followed by bonding agent and composite resin cylinders with 3mm diameter and 2mm height were built up on them. They were subjected to shear bond strength testing with Universal testing machine following which the specimens were viewed under a scanning electron microscope to ascertain the mode of failure.
Results: The results proved that IPS Empress pressable ceramics provided a higher shear bond strength (SBS) when compared to CAD-CAM ceramics. Metal Ceramics yielded the lowest SBS. Ceramics can be considered as a significant factor influencing the SBS. 9.6% HF etchant was found to give a higher mean SBS when compared to 1.23% APF Gel. Etchant also can be considered as a significant factor that influence the SBS. Even though Filtek Resin recorded a higher mean SBS when compared to Fulfil Universal, the difference between them was not statistically significant. Resins cannot be considered as a significant factor that has an influence on SBS. Higher SBS was found in the combination of CAD-CAM ceramic and etchant 9.6% HF. Either of the resins can be used as there is no significant difference between them. The specimens where HF was used as the etchant, the failure was cohesive in nature irrespective of the resins used. With APF, majority of failures were adhesive in nature.
Conclusions: The type of ceramic and the etchants are significant factors in providing adequate bond strength between the composite resins and fractured ceramic restorations. The two resins provided almost similar bonding characteristics.
