Dental substrates (stored in saline) were prepared by high-speed diamond bur (006; Tizkavan, Iran) to create adequate amount of standard smear layer.

The bonding surface area of composite blocks was etched for 5 seconds using K-Etchant (Kuraray) to remove impurities and was then rinsed and dried. Bis-Silane two-component ceramic primer (Bisco, United States) was rubbed on the bonding surface, allowed 30 seconds, and gently air dried for 20 seconds.
Dental substrates were also etched for 10 seconds using K-Etchant (Kuraray) and were then rinsed and air dried to obtain a glossy, moist (not too dry and not too wet) surface. ED Primer II (A + B; Kuraray) was applied on dental substrate bonding surface, allowed 30 seconds, and excess material was removed by a microbrush and gently air sprayed. Next, A and B pastes of Panavia cement were equally mixed and applied on the bonding surface area of composite and dental substrate. The samples were pressed by gentle finger pressure on the smooth surface of a glass slab in order for the excess cement to leak out. Excess cement was removed and the interface was light-cured for 20 seconds from each side using the LED light curing unit (Wood Pecker).

A bowl-shaped cavity (diameter: 4 mm, depth: 2 mm) was prepared in the center of the flat surface of a ceramic block (Vitabloc Mark II, Ivoclar Vivadent, NY, USA) with a no. 149 regular-cut diamond point under 300,000 rpm and copious irrigation. The cavities were treated with 40% phosphoric acid (K-Etchant, Kuraray Noritake Dental) for 10 s, and then water-sprayed and air-blown for 5 s each. The cavities were treated with a silane coupling agent (Ceramic Primer, Kuraray Noritake Dental), and then each bonding agent (Clearfil SE One, Bond Force, G Bond Plus and BeautiBond) was applied and photopolymerized for 10 s (Table 12). The cavities were filled with the corresponding resin composites (Table 1-1), and the restorations were finished and polished in a manner consistent with the specimen preparation for the three body wear testing (n=5).

Ceramic Block Cavity Restoration Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

A bowl-shaped cavity (4 mm diameter, 2 mm depth) was prepared in the center of the flat surface of a ceramic block (Vitabloc Mark II, Ivoclar Vivadent Inc., NY, USA) with a no. 149 regular-cut diamond point under 300,000 rpm with copious irrigation. The cavities were treated with 40% phosphoric acid (K-Etchant, Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc., Tokyo, Japan) for 10 s, and then water-sprayed and air-blown for 5 s each. The cavities were treated with the ceramic primer. A bonding agent (Bond Force, Tokuyama Dental Corp., Tokyo, Japan) was applied and photopolymerized for 10 s. The cavities were restored with the experimental flowable resin composites by using a two-layer incremental technique (n=5). Each layer was photopolymerized for 30 s with a light-curing unit (Candelux, Morita Corp., Tokyo, Japan). The second layer was slightly overfilled. The specimens were stored in a humidity-controlled (95%) device at 37°C for 48 h. The restored surfaces of the specimens were finished and polished by wet-grinding with a 1500-grit silicon carbide paper (n=5).

Titanium-Polymer Bonding Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

K-Etchant (K-Etchant Syringe, Lot: 2Q0056, Kuraray Noritake, Co., Ltd. Kurashiki, Japan) was applied to the surfaces to be cemented and allowed to function for 5 s, followed by water rinsing for 10 s and air-blasting for 5 s. Thereafter, Clearfil Ceramic Primer Plus (Clearfil Ceramic Primer Plus, Lot: 1W0023, Kuraray Noritake, Co., Ltd. Kurashiki, Japan) was brushed on the titanium and Telio CAD or MFH with a disposable brush and the surfaces were air blasted for 5 s. With the mixing tip, Panavia V5 Paste (Panavia V5 Paste Lot: 1R0010, Kuraray Noritake, Co., Ltd. Kurashiki, Japan) was applied to the polymer-based cementation surface. The surfaces were cemented together under constant pressure of 15 N, cement excess was removed, and all surfaces were light-cured for 20 s from each four sides. The specimen was removed and light-cured from above for an additional 60 s to finally self-cure for 3 min.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
