Effect of Nano-structured Alumina Coating on the Bond Strength of Zirconia Resin-bonded Fixed Dental Prostheses
Sponsor: University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Medicine
Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcome of resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs) pretreated with nanostructured alumina coating (NAC). The study adopts a prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind design contrasting the use of NAC to air-borne particle abrasion (APA) (control) as a surface pretreatment method of zirconia RBFDPs used for replacing missing central or lateral incisors. The primary outcome evaluated is the retention/survival of the zirconia RBFDPs pretreated with APA and NAC.
