Abstract

The effects of pH value and alcohol solvent type of a silane solution on the bonding of an experimental resin to the silica-coated titanium (Ti) surface were studied. First, Ti surfaces underwent tribochemical Rocatec treatment followed by silanization of the surface with 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS). Then, resin stubs based on a mixture of bisphenol-A-glycidyl dimethacrylate and methyl methacrylate were bonded and light-cured onto each silica-coated Ti surface (n = 6 per group). Two different solvents for MPS, namely iso-propanol (i-PrOH)/H2O and ethanol (EtOH)/H2O were used, at pH values of 4.5, 5.0, and 5.5, and shear bond strengths were tested both under dry storage conditions and after water sorption induced by accelerated aging (i.e. thermo-cycling). The shear bond strengths were also re-determined after the silane solutions had been stored at 4°C for 15 weeks before the silanization step. For dry samples, the shear bond strengths ranged from 7.5 to 10.6 MPa (ANOVA, p < 0.05)="" when="" the="" ti="" surface="" had="" been="" silanized="" with="" mps="" in="">i-PrOH/H2O, and from 6.5 to 12.4 MPa (ANOVA, p < 0.05)="" when="" the="" ti="" surface="" had="" been="" silanized="" with="" mps="" in="">2O at pH 4.5. Fifteen weeks of storage of the silane solution increased the shear bond strength of dry samples by ca. 1–4 MPa per test group. In contrast, thermo-cycling reduced the shear bond strength in both solvent systems. The weight of the test sample stubs increased by ca. 3.5 wt% after 187 days of being subjected to the water sorption test.
