[en] The objective of this study was to evaluate adhesive interfacial fracture toughness (a-IFT) of resin cement with materials representative of the two classes of CAD-CAM composites, Dispersed filler (DF) and Polymer Infiltrated Ceramic Network (PICN), after different surface treatments. The null hypotheses were that the material class and surface texture after treatment do not influence a-IFT.
