Abstract :
The established bonding protocol for zirconia involved the three main steps: surface roughening, chemical modification and cementation, termed APC concept.
One other alternative that had been proved to be predictable over long term in in-vitro is the Selective Infiltration Etching (SIE) technique. However, clinical application has been scarce due to technical limitation until recently where it is made feasible for routine use.
This lecture will revise the conventional approach of zirconia bonding and discuss about the SIE technique. Clinical applications of zirconia material as a substitute for bonded ceramic restoration (veneer, onlay and adhesive bridge) will also be explored.
Learning objectives :
- To describe the types of dental zirconia that are currently available
- To discuss the concept of zirconia bonding in dentistry
- To illustrate the use of dental zirconia in different clinical indications
