Summary:Phosphoric acid (PA) etchants are widely used for the bonding pretreatment of teeth; however, their influences on the bonding between glass-ceramics and resin cement have not been clarified yet. This study investigated the effect of a thickening agent on the bonding strength between feldspar porcelain treated with a PA etchant and resin cement with a silane coupling agent. The experiments were performed using two PA etchants: commercial one and prepared one consisting a PA aqueous solution and poly(ethylene glycol) thickening agent. The samples were evaluated by shear bond strength testing, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The obtained results revealed that the thickening agent adhered to the porcelain surface and inhibited cement bonding. Meanwhile, PA remained on the surface due to the presence of the thickening agent and activated the silane coupling agent. Overall, the PA etchant did not improve the bond durability.
