OBJECTIVESThis study was to evaluated the metal–ceramic bond strength of a Co–Cr dental alloy prepared using a selective laser melting (SLM) technique.METHODSTwo groups comprised of twenty Co–Cr metal bars each were prepared using either a SLM or traditional lost-wax casting method. Ten bars from each group were moulded into standard ISO 9693:1999 dimensions of 25mm×3mm×0.5mm with 1.1mm of porcelain fused onto an 8mm×3mm rectangular area in the centre of each bar. Metal–ceramic bonding was assessed using a three-point bending test. Fracture mode analysis and area fraction of adherence porcelain (AFAP) were determined by measuring Si content of specimens by SEM/EDS.RESULTSStudent's t-test within the groups demonstrated no significant difference for the mean bond strength between the SLM and traditional cast sample groups. While SEM/EDS analysis indicated a mixed fracture mode on the debonding interface of both the SLM and the cast groups, the SLM group showed significantly more porcelain adherence than the control group (p<0.05).CONCLUSIONSThe SLM metal–ceramic system exhibited a bonding strength that exceeds the requirement of ISO 9691:1999(E) and it even showed a better behaviour in porcelain adherence test comparable to traditional cast methods.
