Abstract
This study aims to compare the shear bond strength (SBS) and Weibull characteristics between a luting composite resin and both printable and two different machinable ceramic-glass polymer materials. A total of 36 substrates were prepared, with 12 in each group. Printable substrates (12 mm × 12 mm × 2 mm) were printed by using permanent crown resin (3D-PR). Machinable substrates were obtained from Cerasmart 270 (CS) and Vita Enamic (VE) blocks (2 mm in thickness). The bonding surfaces of substrates were polished and airborne abraded (50 µm Al(2)O(3)). A self-adhesive luting composite resin (RelyX U200, 3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA, SLC) was applied on substrates with the help of a cylindrical (Ø3 × 3 mm) mold. The SBS test was conducted using a universal test machine. The SBSs of three materials were compared using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) (α = 0.05). The Weibull modulus was calculated for each material. The Kruskal-Wallis and chi-square tests were carried out for the failure mode analysis. There was no significant difference between the SBSs of the three materials (p = 0.129). The Weibull modulus was 3.76 for the 3D-PR, 4.22 for the CS, and 6.52 for the VE group. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference between the failure modes of the groups (p = 0.986). Mixed-failure fractures were predominantly observed in all three groups. The results show that the SBS of the SLC to printable 3D-PR is comparable to that of CS and VE material. Failure modes of printable 3D-PR show similar results with two different machinable ceramic-glass polymers.
