Introduction
Novel CAD/CAM composite blocks combine the advantages of resin composites andceramics and are increasingly used for indirect restorations. Structural fractures are typicallymanaged by repair due to its minimally invasive nature. This study evaluated the repair bondstrength following chemical (silane) and chemomechanical (air abrasion) surface treatmentsusing a conventional nanohybrid composite.
Material&Method
CAD/CAM Composite Blocs (Brava,FGM) were sectioned using a diamond saw (Isomet) toobtain 5×5×3 mm specimens (n = 150). Specimens were aged in ethanol for one week at 37°C and mounted onto acrylic blocks. Surface treatments were applied according to subgroupallocation: (A) air abrasion+universal adhesive; (B) air abrasion + silanized universaladhesive; (C) air abrasion+silane+ universal adhesive; (D) universal adhesive; (E) silanizeduniversal adhesive; and (F) silane+universal adhesive.
Following treatment, a 5×5×5 mm composite build-up was fabricated using an Automatrixmetal band. A nanohybrid composite was applied in two increments and light-cured for 20 s per increment using an LED curing unit (Elipar DeepCure-S, 3M ESPE). Shear bond strengthwas measured with a universal testing machine (Instron) at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. Failure mode analysis was performed under a stereomicroscope. Statistical significance wasset at p<0.05.
Results
Shear bond strength differed significantly among groups (p<0.05). Air abrasion had nosignificant effect within the Ambar Universal, Ambar Universal Plus, or Ambar+Silanegroups (p>0.05). In air-abraded specimens, bond strength varied significantly by adhesiveprocedure (p<0.05), with the Ambar + Silane group showing the highest mean value. No significant differences were observed among adhesive procedures in non–air-abradedspecimens (p>0.05). Mixed adhesive failures predominated across all groups.
Conclusion
Regarding CAD/CAM composite block repair, air abrasion did not result in a statisticallysignificant increase in bond strength between the tested materials. In contrast, silaneapplication prior to adhesive treatment is recommended, as it was found to enhance bondstrength.
