Effect of aluminum oxide airborne-particle abrasion on zirconia bond strength to tooth or composite resin substrates: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Displacement of zirconia restorations is among the most frequent failures. Airborne-particle abrasion (APA) with aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) has been studied to increase surface roughness, energy, and wettability, thereby improving bond strength. Therefore, a systematic review is needed. PURPOSE: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate how APA with Al₂O₃ affects the bond strength of zirconia …
