Post-etching cleaning influences the resin shear bond strength to CAD/CAM lithium-disilicate ceramics

Abstract Statement of problem The hydrofluoric acid (HF) is able to promote selective dissolution of the glassy phase in silica-based ceramic. However, the etching leaves insoluble silica-fluoride salts in the surface that affects negatively the bond, affirming the need of a post-etching cleaning. P...
