title: The effect of disk type and cutting speed on the micro-tensile bond strength of ceramic specimens to resin cement.
abstract: The bond strength of dental materials has been evaluated by tensile testing of micro-specimens. The cutting process used to obtain specimens may influence the results. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of different types of diamond disks and cutting speeds on the bond strength of ceramic specimens and on specimen integrity. Lithium disilicate-based ceramic cubes were bonded with resin cement to composite resin cubes, according to the manufacturers' instructions. The ceramic/cement/resin blocks thus obtained were divided into two groups to be cut with Buehler(®) or Extec(®) disks and then sectioned at cutting speeds of 200 rpm and 400 rpm. The results showed that the bond strength values were affected by the cutting speed and disk/speed interaction (p<0.05). SEM analysis revealed better specimen properties when the blocks were cut at 200 rpm. It was concluded that ceramic specimens must be cut at low speeds.
