Abstract:

This study evaluates the impact of various surface modifications on the shear bond strength (SBS) between 3D-printed denture bases and artificial teeth, aiming to enhance the clinical performance of prostheses. A total of 120 specimens were fabricated using 3D printing technology and categorized into six groups (n=20 per group) based on surface treatments: control (no treatment), sandblasting, silica coating, adhesive primer application, laser irradiation, and a combination of sandblasting and adhesive primer. SBS was measured using a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. Statistical significance was determined using one-way ANOVA (p < 0.05). The mean SBS values (MPa) for each group were as follows: control (5.2 ± 0.8), sandblasting (7.8 ± 1.1), silica coating (8.3 ± 1.0), adhesive primer (9.1 ± 1.3), laser irradiation (10.5 ± 1.5), and combined treatment (12.2 ± 1.7). The combined sandblasting and adhesive primer treatment demonstrated a 134.6% increase in SBS compared to the control group, indicating the highest bonding efficiency. Post-failure analysis revealed cohesive failure patterns in groups with higher SBS values, suggesting improved adhesion. Surface modifications significantly enhance the SBS between 3D-printed denture bases and artificial teeth. The combined sandblasting and adhesive primer treatment resulted in the highest bond strength, offering a promising strategy to improve the durability and longevity of 3D-printed denture prostheses. These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing denture fabrication protocols in clinical practice.
