The authors present the prosthetic rehabilitation of a young patient nineteen years old, radiated at four years old, during the treatment of right nasal fossa malignant tumour. Only metallic mandibular and maxillary dentals coverage can be considered after the realization of temporary supra-dental resin removable dentures, testing the possibilities of treatment, on esthetic and functional points of view.

PURPOSE: Bonding techniques are commonly used today to ensure the durability of porcelain laminate veneers and ceramic inlay-onlays, which are esthetically pleasing solutions to the problem of dental restoration. Acid etching and silanization of porcelain have been widely used to enhance the retention between bonding resins and ceramic restorations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of surface modifications with 10% hydrofluoric acid gel and a coupling agent (a dual component silane) on the bond strength of 2 dental feldspathic ceramics (GC and PVS) bonded with an unfilled resin (Super-Bond). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighty samples of GC and eighty samples of PVS were built for a mechanical study. Mechanical tests were conducted using a Lloyd T 6000 R tensile machine, which determined the bond strengths of the 2 ceramics after different surface treatments (etching or silanization). In the next part of the study, 10 surfaces of GC and 10 surfaces of PVS were studied with a scanning mechanical microscope to evaluate the action of hydrofluoric acid gel on the roughness of the 2 ceramics. RESULTS: Etching ceramic with hydrofluoric acid gel increased the developed surface of feldspathic ceramics, especially for PVS, but this treatment was not sufficient to obtain the highest shear bond strength. The highly positive influence of silanization was shown, particularly for GC ceramic bonded with an unfilled resin. CONCLUSION: Silane combined with the action of hydrofluoric acid gel is the most effective surface treatment for ceramic.
PURPOSE: In a previous article the authors examined the evolution of the bond strengths of 2 dental feldspathic ceramics. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of surface modifications with hydrofluoric acid gel (concentration 10%) on the surface energy of 2 dental feldspathic ceramics (GC and PVS). MATERIALS AND METHODS: For an energy characterization, 30 samples of GC and 30 samples of PVS were built. This study comprised the measurement of contact angles to determine the work of adhesion (WA) of the 2 ceramics. The evolution of the work of adhesion depended on the action of the hydrofluoric acid gel on the roughness of the surface of the 2 ceramics. RESULTS: In a polished state PVS presented a higher work of adhesion than GC. Etching the ceramics with hydrofluoric acid gel increased the work of adhesion, especially for GC, but this treatment was not sufficient to obtain a high work of adhesion. CONCLUSION: Etching with hydrofluoric acid gel was not sufficient to raise the work of adhesion of the 2 ceramics. Silanization is preferable to etching.
