Influence of Silane Treatment of All-Ceramic Surfaces (e-Max) on the Cementation with Tooth Dentine

Article Preview

Abstract:

The influence of the treatment of the surface of IPS Empress II (e-max) glass-ceramic dental material with different silane agents on the surface roughness of this glass-ceramic was evaluated. IPS Empress II (e-max) cores were treated with five different commercial silane agents used in dentistry nowadays, for several periods of time and were finally air dried. After silanization, the surfaces of the glass-ceramic cores were observed with a light profilometer, a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and an atomic force microscope (AFM). The values of surface roughness (Ra) were also measured with the light profilometer. The results showed an important effect of silane treatment applied for different periods of time, especially for prolonged treatment for 24 hours, on the surface roughness of IPS Empress II (e-max). These results can have an important impact on the deep understanding of the cementation protocols applied in modern dentistry.
