Effects of dipping time on color parameters, elemental composition and resin cement bonding of monolithic zirconia
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: PURPOSE: This study evaluated the effects of different dipping times on the color parameters, elemental composition, and resin cement bonding of monolithic zirconia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: = .05). Failure modes were classified under an optical microscope. Elemental and structural analyses were performed using SEM-EDS and XRD. RESULTS: < .05). SEM-EDS analysis revealed increased Er concentration and decreased Zr concentration with prolonged dipping times. Corresponding oxide-related peaks were detected by XRD. CONCLUSION: Different dipping times significantly affected both color parameters and resin cement bond strength of monolithic zirconia. A 5-minute dipping protocol provided a favorable balance between color change and shear bond strength to resin cement.
