Abstract

Because of the high polycrystalline content on the composition of zirconia, the eching throught hydroflouric acid gel does not promote the necessary surface modifications for a satisfactory bonding of zirconia to resin cements. Therefore, obtaining an adequate bonding to such high polycrystalline material has been proven difficult. The purpose of the present study is (1) to analyze the zirconia surface through surface roughness, surface energy (contact angle of liquids), scanning electronic microscopy associated with spectroscopy of dispersive energy (SEM-EDS) before and after the surface treatment of zirconia with non-thermal plasma treatment, metallic primer and the association of both treatments and (2) to evaluate the microtensile bond strength of this ceramic system to two resin cements through the microtensile bond strength test after 24 hours of storage in distilled water at room temperature (baseline) or after 12.000 cycles of thermocycling (5 to 55°C) or after 150 days of storage in distilled water at 37±2°C. Zirconia discs will be fabricated and randomly distributed in 5 groups according to the surface treatment: control (G1), non-thermal plasma (G2), metallic primer (G3), non-thermal plasma + metallic primer (G4) and metallic primer + non-thermal plasma (G5). The microtensile bond strength test will be performed in an appropriated universal testing machine for microtensile bond strength EMIC DL 1000 (0.5mm per minute and 150N-load). The data of surface roughness, surface energy (contact angle of liquids) and microtensile bond strength will be submitted to the appropriate statistical analysis for comparison of the mean results. The SEM-EDS images will be visually compared between groups. (AU)
