Influence of laser structuring of PEEK, PEEK-GF30 and PEEK-CF30 surfaces on the shear bond strength to a resin cement
Abstract
<p>Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of a surface conditioning technique using laser ablation and acid etching on PEEK substrate on its bonding strength to a resin cement. Materials and methods: Cylindrical specimens of unfilled PEEK, 30% glass fiber reinforced PEEK and 30% carbon fiber reinforced PEEK were separated in four groups according to the following surface treatments: acid etching with H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>, laser ablation with 200 µm holes spaced 400 µm apart (D2E4), laser ablation with 200 µm holes spaced 600 µm apart (D2E6), and laser ablation (D2E4) followed by acid etching. A dual-curing resin cement (Allcem CORE) was then applied to the PEEK surface. Specimens were aged in distilled water at 37 °C for 24 h. Shear bond strength tests were performed to the fracture of the samples. Two-way ANOVA statistical analysis was performed with a significance level of 0.05. Scanning electron microscopy analysis was performed to analyse the conditioned and fracture surfaces. Results: SEM images of the test interfaces showed that the resin cement could not flow in the holes designed by the laser ablation on the PEEK surface. The shear bond strength of PEEK to resin cement was not improved by the surface modification of the PEEK. Also, there was a statistically significant decrease in shear bond strength for unfilled PEEK specimens. On carbon or glass reinforced PEEK, the change was not significant. SEM images of the fracture surfaces revealed that the failure mode was mainly adhesive. Conclusions: Although laser ablation promoted the PEEK surface modification by the formation of retentive holes, the test resin cement could not thoroughly flow on the rough modified surfaces to establish an effective mechanical interlocking. That negatively affected the shear bonding strength of PEEK to the resin cement. Further studies should be carried out to increase the bonding between PEEK and resin cements.</p>
