Enhancing Bond Strength of CAD-CAM Hybrid Ceramic Crowns with Cold-Active Atmospheric Pressure Plasma

Posted: December 23, 2024
In a recent in-vitro study, the influence of Cold Atmospheric Pressure Plasma (CAP) on the bond strength of hybrid ceramic abutment crowns was investigated. The study aimed to determine if CAP could serve as an alternative or supplementary surface pretreatment method for CAD-CAM-fabricated crowns in implant dentistry. Results indicated that while CAP alone did not significantly improve bond strength, combining CAP with silane yielded promising results, surpassing individual effects. However, the bond strength achieved with this combination was lower than conventional pretreatment methods involving hydrofluoric acid. This research underscores the importance of surface pretreatment strategies in enhancing the durability and efficacy of dental restorations, providing valuable insights for optimizing crown bonding techniques in clinical practice.
