Evaluation of the Effect of Different Types of Abrasive Surface Treatment before and after Zirconia Sintering on Its Structural Composition and Bond Strength with Resin Cement

Figure 5

SEM of groups A, C, E, and F. Group C abraded after sintering by 50 μm Al2O3 particles and group E abraded after sintering by 25 μm silica particles with 4-bar pressure appeared with pits, grooves, and sharp edges, while group D abraded by 25 μm silica particles after sintering with 3.5 bar appeared as control group.
