Bonding to Zirconia

Dental zirconia is widely used in restorative dentistry due to its strength, durability, and aesthetic properties. However, bonding to zirconia poses challenges due to lack of standardization regarding the surface treatment protocol. This presentation will explore the science behind bonding to zirconia, discuss surface treatment options, and outline the best clinical practices for achieving long-lasting adhesion.

Learn:

• the properties of dental zirconia and why it is challenging to bond
• different surface treatment techniques for zirconia
• real-world case studies to understand the causes of bond failure and how to avoid them through proper technique and material selection
