Abstract

Statement of problem: A high metal-ceramic bond strength is important for successful dental restorations. However, studies on the evaluation of the bond strength of porous metal–ceramic restorations compared with conventional ones are scarce. Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the bond strength of a porous metal–ceramic structure with conventional metal-ceramic restorations. Material and methods: Ten porous specimens were fabricated by selective laser sintering (SLS) according to the International Organization for Standardization 9693-1:2012, 10 specimens without porosity by SLS, and 10 cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) cast specimens without porosity. The ceramic was applied with the pressing method. A 3-point bend test was performed with a universal testing machine, and the data were statistically analyzed by using 1-way analysis of variance (α=.05). Results: The mean ±standard deviation bond strength of the porous group fabricated by SLS was the lowest (35.6 ±9.1 MPa), that of the group without porosity in the casting method was 43.5 ±7.8 MPa, and that of the group without porosity fabricated by SLS was the highest (47.7 ±4.5 MPa); these were statistically similar (P=.058). Conclusions: Although the porous structure reported the lowest bond strength among the 3 sets of test specimens, its bond strength was higher than the International Standards Organization standard of 25 MPa.
