| Abstract: | The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects on shear bond strength to resin after pure titanium (Ti) was exposed to plasma under different kinds of gas atmosphere. Polished Ti samples were treated using a plasma exposure apparatus in gas atmospheres of air, CO2, and C3F8. Surface analysis of Ti exposed to plasma was achieved through surface free energy and XPS measurements. The Ti sample was bonded with adhesive resin (4-META, MAC-10, HEMA, MDP, VBATDT) to a stainless steel piece. After which, shearing adhesion test was done. It was observed that plasma exposure in a specific gas atmosphere in regulated the bonding strength of titanium surface to resin. Based on the results of this study, we concluded that plasma exposure was a useful surface treatment method for dental practices. |
