The Effectiveness of Various Functional Monomers in Self-adhesive Resin Cements on Prosthetic Materials

AIM: This study examined the influence of various functional monomers in two self-adhesive resin cements (SACs) on prosthetic materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Base metal alloy, lithium disilicate glass-ceramic, and zirconia were used as bonding materials. Silicon carbide paper was used to polish the specimens. Two self-adhesive resin cements (Panavia SA luting multi, PAM, and Maxcem elite chroma, MAC) were used. Ten specimens for each material were produced and resin cements were bonded to each material. The specimens were stored in 37°C distilled water in an incubator for 24 hours. A universal testing machine was used to measure the shear bond strength. The data were statistically examined using one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test. RESULTS: In all prosthetic materials, PAM had the highest bond strength. In lithium disilicate glass-ceramic, the lowest bond strength was found with MAC. CONCLUSION: The self-adhesive resin cement (PAM) containing 10-MDP monomer and long carbon-chain silane was performed the greatest outcome in the shear bond strength on the prosthetic materials and self-adhesive resin cement interface.
