: The increasing clinical integration of 3D-printed definitive resins requires a comprehensive understanding of their physicochemical properties and adhesive behavior. However, there is limited evidence regarding the optimal surface treatment and bonding strategies for clear aligner composite attachments on these materials. This study aimed to characterize a 3D-printed definitive resin, evaluate the effects of surface treatments on its surface topography, and compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of the bonded attachments using different adhesive systems, both before and after thermocycling. : A total of 120 rectangular specimens were fabricated from a 3D printed dental resin (Crowntec, SAREMCO Dental AG-Mexico City, Mexico). For physicochemical characterization, six samples underwent scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. To evaluate surface topography, 42 polished specimens were assigned to three groups: untreated (control), etched with 4% hydrofluoric acid (HFA), or sandblasted with 50 µm AlO (AA). Each group was subdivided for SEM observation and surface roughness () measurement. For SBS testing, 72 additional samples received the same surface treatments and were further subdivided according to the adhesive system: Transbond™ XT Primer (TXT) or Single Bond Universal (SBU). : The AA group showed the highest (2.21 ± 0.30 µm), followed by HFA (0.81 ± 0.20 µm) and control (0.07 ± 0.30 µm) ( < 0.001). The highest SBS was observed in the AA + SBU group, followed by AA + TXT. : Sandblasting with AlO particles, combined with a universal adhesive, significantly improved bond strength, suggesting a viable protocol for 3D printed definitive composites in aligner attachment applications.
3D打印定制树脂在临床中的应用日益广泛,这就需要全面了解其物理化学性质和粘结行为。然而,关于这些材料上透明矫治器复合附件的最佳表面处理和粘结策略的证据有限。本研究旨在对一种3D打印定制树脂进行表征,评估表面处理对其表面形貌的影响,并比较在热循环前后使用不同粘结系统粘结附件的剪切粘结强度(SBS)。
总共用一种3D打印牙科树脂(Crowntec,SAREMCO Dental AG - 墨西哥城,墨西哥)制作了120个矩形试件。为进行物理化学表征,对六个样本进行了扫描电子显微镜/能量色散光谱分析、X射线衍射分析和热重分析。为评估表面形貌,将42个抛光试件分为三组:未处理(对照组)、用4%氢氟酸(HFA)蚀刻或用50 µm氧化铝(AA)喷砂处理。每组再细分用于扫描电子显微镜观察和表面粗糙度()测量。对于SBS测试,另外72个样本接受相同的表面处理,并根据粘结系统进一步细分:Transbond™ XT底漆(TXT)或单组分通用粘结剂(SBU)。
AA组的表面粗糙度最高(2.21±0.30 µm),其次是HFA组(0.81±0.20 µm)和对照组(0.07±0.30 µm)(<0.001)。在AA + SBU组中观察到最高的SBS,其次是AA + TXT组。
用氧化铝颗粒喷砂处理并结合通用粘结剂可显著提高粘结强度,这表明该方案对于3D打印定制复合材料在矫治器附件应用中是可行的。
