METHODS FOR TREATING THE SURFACE OF DENTAL ZIRCONIA MATERIALS TO INCREASE ADHESION WITH NATURAL TEETH

Abstract

This technical solution proposes a surface treatment method for zirconia materials combined with a bio-adhesive to enhance adhesion to teeth in dentistry. The zirconia material's inner surface is roughened and activated by a surface treatment preparation. The adhesive in this technical solution contains phosphate-containing monomers, plant-derived tannins, modified lignin, and methacrylate, creating a synergistic interaction that increases bond strength, ensures long-term stability, and reduces monomer release. The adhesive exhibits high biocompatibility, minimizes toxicity, and reduces inflammatory reactions. The solution is suitable for various types of zirconia and dental restorations and aims towards environmentally friendly biomaterials.
