چکیده

Background: In recent years, the use of Ceramic base zirconia is considered because of chemical stability, biocompatibility, good compressive and flexural strength in dentistry for all ceramic restorations. However, due to its chemical stability, there is a challenge with dental bonding. Several studies have done to improving zirconia bonding but they are not reliable. Purpose of this research is a study of effect of plasma on bonding strength Zirconia.  Methods: In this research zirconia blocks' surfaces polished with 1200grit sandpaper. Samples were processed with plasma of oxygen, argon, air and oxygen-argon combination with 90-10 and 80-20 ratio.  Surface modifications were evaluated by contact angle, surface roughness, and topographical assessments. Cylindrical Panavia f2 resin-cement and Diafill were used for micro shear strength bond measurements. The data analysis was performed by SPSS 20.0 software and one-way analysis of variance. Results: The results showed that plasma can increase micro cutting bond strength, decrease surface roughness, increase surface activation energy. Maximum cutting bond strength by using Panavia f2 cement, is for air and argon plasma, and by using margin bond and Diafill composition cement, is for air and combination of oxygen and argon with 20-80 ratio.  Conclusion: According to this research plasmatic processing with dielectric barrier method in atmospheric pressure can increase Zirconia bonding strength.
