SURFACE TREATMENT EFFECTS ON SHEAR BOND STRENGTH AND BIAXIAL FLEXURAL STRENGTH OF THREE GENERATIONS OF ZIRCONIA YASKO A. DARKOUE MASTER OF SCIENCE IN DENTISTRY ABSTRACT Objectives: Mechanical and chemical surface treatments are required to achieve a durable bond to zirconia. The objective of this study is to compare the effects of particle abrasion and pressure on shear bond strength and biaxial flexural strength of Lava (Frame, Plus and Esthetic) zirconia to obtain a favorable combination of pressure and particle type to produce optimum strength and optimize the bond produced. A protocol for mechanical treatment balancing strength of the type zirconia …
