PURPOSE: To investigate the bond strength of resin cement to additively manufactured (AM) zirconia with different porosities when compared to milled zirconia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A 12 5 mm disk virtual design file was used to fabricate a total of 48 disks divided into 4 groups: 3 groups were AM with different porosities including 0%-porosity (AMZ0 group), 20%-porosity (AMZ20 group), and 40%-porosity (AMZ40 group), and 1 milled zirconia (control or CNCZ group). The dimensions of all specimens were measured using a digital caliper. A 3D- confocal laser scanner was used to analyze surface morphology and measure the surface roughness (Sa), followed by SEM analysis. Tensile bond strength of composite resin cement to specimens was measured before and after aging procedures using a universal testing machine (n = 10). Failure modes were evaluated under a light microscope. Volumetric change data was analyzed using one-way ANOVA, and two-way ANOVA was used to compare bond strength values ( = 0.05). RESULTS: There was a significant difference in volumetric changes among the groups. The CNCZ group showed the least changes in diameter 0.027 0.029 mm and thickness 0.030 0.012 mm and AM zirconia with 40% porosity showed the most volumetric changes in diameter 5.237 0.023mm. ANOVA test indicated an overall significant difference in surface roughness across all groups (F = 242.6, p < 0.001). The CNCZ group showed the highest mean Sa of 1.649 0.240m, followed by AMZ40 group with Sa of 0.830 0.063m, AMZ20 group with Sa of 0.780 0.070 m, and the AMZ0 group with Sa of 0.612 0.063 m. Two-way ANOVA showed significant difference in bond strength between the CNCZ group 12.109 3.223 MPa and the AMZ0 group 8.629 0.914 MPa, with significant pretest failures in specimens with porosities. Thermal cycling methods reduced the bond strength non-significantly in CNCZ group with no effect in the AMZ0 group. CONCLUSION: Milled zirconia had a higher surface roughness and bond strength to composite resin cement than AM zirconia, and porosities in AM zirconia decreased the bond strength with significant pretest failures.
