Femtosecond Laser Enhances Bonding Efficacy of Zirconia and Lithium Disilicate Glass Ceramics in Dental Restorations

Posted: January 6, 2025
The study explores the impact of femtosecond laser (FL) irradiation on the bonding efficacy of high-translucency zirconia and lithium disilicate glass ceramics. Results show that FL treatment increased surface roughness and shear bond strength, with the best outcomes seen in the 40-μm cross-line irradiated samples. The study suggests that FL can enhance bonding in dental restorations, particularly in 6Y-PSZ and Li2SiO3 glass ceramics, with Monobond Etch & Prime proving effective for Li2SiO3 ceramics.
