The effect of hydrofluoric acid concentration on the fatigue failure load of adhesively cemented feldspathic ceramic discs

Among a wide range of CAD/CAM blocks available to produce monolithic restorations, the feldspathic ceramic Vitablocs Mark II (Vita Zanhfabrik, Bad S äckingen, Germany) is fabricated using fine-structure ceramic powders under industrial sintering process, resulting in good polishing properties, decreased enamel wear, and increased strength due to a nearly pore free ceramic [1]. Also, the fracture resistance of the feldspathic ceramic restoration s may be improved with appropriate bonding procedures [2].
