 Increasing bond strength on zirconia and dental material  with cold plasma 

​

Description:

Zirconia is among the main materials used for dental applications. One common application is to bond it with cement as adhesive. This lecture investigates the influence of different surface treatments on zirconia surface energy, roughness and bond strength. We will discuss, the effect of sandblasting and cold atmospheric plasma on the surface roughness and shear bonding strength and material and methods that can be used to increase bond strength.
