Abstract

he bond strength between lithium disilicate veneers and tooth structure depends on factors such as curing technique and luting agent. Preheated composite resins have been proposed as alternative luting agents due to their favorable mechanical and polymerization properties. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of conventional, ramp, and pulse light-curing techniques on the shear bond strength of lithium disilicate when preheated microhybrid and nanohybrid composite resins were used as luting agents.  Forty-two maxillary premolars were prepared and randomly assigned to six groups (n = 7) based on the combination of luting agent and light-curing technique: IA (microhybrid–conventional), IB (microhybrid–ramp), IC (microhybrid–pulse), IIA (nanohybrid–conventional), IIB (nanohybrid–ramp), and IIC (nanohybrid–pulse). Lithium disilicate veneers were cemented accordingly, and shear bond strength was evaluated. Results from a two-way ANOVA indicated a significant effect of the type of preheated composite resin on the shear bond strength of lithium disilicate (p < 0.05), while no significant effect of light-curing technique was observed (p > 0.05). This study confirmed that preheated microhybrid composite resin produces greater shear bond strength compared to preheated nanohybrid composite resin. Light-curing technique does not significantly affect the shearbond strength of lithium disilicate.

Abstract

An increase in the frequency of 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP) application during intracoronal bleaching leads to a higher accumulation of free radical residues, which can negatively affect the bonding of composite resin. The removal of these free radicals can be facilitated by the application of 35% sodium ascorbate (SA) combined with 0.4% surfactant. An additional frequency of SA application is required to counteract the increased free radical residues. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the frequency of 35% SA combined with 0.4% surfactant and different intracoronal bleaching frequencies on the shear bond strength of composite resin. Forty-eight premolar teeth were divided into two main groups of 24 specimens each. Group I received two applications of 0.01 mL HP 35%, while Group II received three applications. After each bleaching session, the specimens were stored in a closed tube for five days per session, then washed and dried. Each group was further divided into three subgroups. Subgroup A was left untreated for seven days; Subgroup B received two applications of 35% sodium ascorbate combined with 0.4% surfactant; and Subgroup C received three applications. All specimens were restored with composite resin and immersed in pH 7 artificial saliva in an incubator for seven days. Shear bond strength was tested using a Universal Testing Machine at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. Two-way ANOVA revealed a significant effect of sodium ascorbate application frequency and different intracoronal bleaching frequencies on composite resin shear bond strength (p < 0.01). The results indicate that the shear bond strength of composite resin subjected to three applications of 35% sodium ascorbate combined with 0.4% surfactant is statistically comparable to those obtained with two applications of the same formulation.
