Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To examine the effect of porcelain surface texture achieved utilising three clinically relevant surface preparation methods prior to silane and unfilled resin application on the flexure strength of a low fusing feldspathic porcelain. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Five hundred and forty dentine disc-shaped specimens (15.0mm diameter and 0.9mm thickness) were condensed, fired and allocated to 18 groups. Six groups were stored as-fired, six were alumina abraded and six were acid-etched. Samples were coated with silane, unfilled resin or both prior to bi-axial flexure testing. Group means were compared utilising a three factor design general linear model and post hoc all paired Tukey tests at P
