The removal of contaminants prior to the bonding of ceramics is critical for the clinical success of a long-term durable resin bond. This study tested the null hypotheses that there are no contaminants on the zirconia ceramic surface left after try-in simulation, and there are no influences of contamination and cleaning methods on zirconia ceramic bonding durability with 10-methacryloyloxy- decyl dihydrogenphosphate-containing composite resins. After saliva immersion and the use of a silicone disclosing agent, airborne-particle-abraded ceramic specimens were cleaned with acetone, 36% phosphoric acid, additional airborne-particle abrasion, or only water spray. Chemical analyses of specimen surfaces were performed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The influences of contamination and cleaning methods on ceramic bond durability were examined by tensile testing after 3 or 150 days' water storage with 37,500 thermal cycles. Contamination, existing after try-in simulation as confirmed by chemical analysis, significantly reduced zirconia ceramic-resin bonds. Airborne-particle abrasion may be the most effective cleaning method.
