Evaluation of 3D printed nano-modified resin shear bond strength on titanium surfaces (an in-vitro study).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Interim restorations are crucial in dental implant procedures as they ensure patient's comfort, maintain esthetic appearance, and restore function during the healing process. Optimizing retention of these restorations ensures their long-term success. This study aims to evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of nano-modified, additively manufactured resin-based interim materials to smooth and rough titanium surfaces.

Methods

Ninety-six specimens were prepared with a 3D printed resin (VarseoSmile Crown plus; Bego) and divided into 3 groups: group I (VS control) (n = 32), group II (VS 0.2%TiO₂) (n = 32), and group III (VS 0.4%TiO₂) (n = 32), then each group was divided into 2 subgroups according to bonded titanium surface: smooth (n = 16) and sa
