Abstract: Objective To evaluate the effect of sandblasting on the shear bond strength and durability of three resin cements bonded to titanium. Methods Titanium in two sizes (φ5 mm×5 mm, φ4 mm×2 mm) were fabricated with titanium casting technology for dentistry, each size consisted of 96 specimens, and the two sizes were paired up to 96 pairs. The paired specimens were divided into the experiment group and the control group. The experiment group was sandblasted with 50 μm Al2O3 particle,the control group was untreated. The paired titanium specimens were bonded by Super-Bond C&B (SB), Panavia F (PF) and Rely X Unicem (RU), according to manufacturer’s recommendations. The specimens were divided into 6 groups (SB sandblasted, SB un-sandblasted, PF sandblasted, PF un-sandblasted, RU sandblasted, RU un-sandblasted), each of which consisted of 16 pairs of specimens. 8 pairs of each group were immersed in water bath at 37 ℃ for 24 hours, the other 8 pairs were treated with 5 000 cycles of thermocycling after being immersed in water at 37 ℃ for 24 hours. The shear bond strength was evaluated by the MTS testing machine. The values of each group were compared by two- factor ANOVA with interaction analysis. Results Before thermocycling, the shear bond strength of RU un-sandblasted group was the lowest, and the highest results were obtained in SB sandblasted group (28.03±8.40) MPa. After thermocycling, the highest strengths were obtained in PF sandblasted group (27.12±8.68) MPa, and the lowest results were obtained in RU un-sandblasted group. Before thermocycling, the shear bond strengths of SB sandblasted and SB un-sandblasted groups were statistically different (P<0.05), which was also true for RU sandblasted and RU un-sandblasted groups. After thermocycling, the results of RU sandblasted and RU un-sandblasted were still different (P<0.05). Thermocycling statistically affected the shear bond strengths in SB sandblasted and SB un-sandblasted groups (P<0.05). Other results were not statistically different (P>0.05). Conclusion Sandblasting can significantly increase the shear bond strength and durability of SB and RU bonded to titanium, but it isn’t positively correlated with the shear bond strength and durability of all resin cements bonded to titanium.
