Objective: Nowadays in pediatric dentistry clinics, zirconia crowns
have become widespread restoration choice of primary teeth with
extensive decay. Aim of this study was to evaluate shear bond
strength of different luting cements on zirconium oxide (zirconia)
specimens in primary teeth.
Methods: Eighty extracted primary molar teeth were selected
for the study and teeth were randomly divided into four groups.
Eighty zirconium oxide specimen were fabricated using CAD/CAM
technology. Samples were cemented with zinc polycarboxylate
cement (PK), conventional glass ionomer cement (GCIS), resin
modified GCIS (RMCIS) and self adhesive resin cement (RS). After
cementation, samples were kept in distilled water for three days at
room temperature. Then speciemens were subjected to 1000 cycles
thermal cycle process. Shear bond strength was determined using
universal testing machine, debonded surfaces were examined using
stereomicroscope. Tamhane’s test was used for pairwise comparisons
of the mean bonding forces of the groups. Pearson chi-square test
was used to compare the debonded surfaces. Significance level (p)
was accepted as 0.05 in the application of the tests.
Results: Mean bond strength of RMCIS group was statistically
lower than RS, GCIS and PK cements (p<0.05). There wasn't
statistically significant difference between mean bonding strength of
RS, GCIS and PK cement group (p>0.05). There wasn't statistically
significant difference between debonded surfaces of zirconia
specimen after cementation with different bonding cements
(p>0.05).
