Selective Infiltration Etching as a surface modification for high-translucency zirconia: Comparative analysis of roughness, composition, and bond strength.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Zirconia is widely regarded as a highly promising material for dental prosthetics due to its excellent biocompatibility and mechanical strength, making it an attractive alternative to metal restorations. However, its chemical inertness and high hardness pose challenges for bonding with resin cements, potentially leading to clinical debonding. Methods: Thirty-six high-translucency zirconia cubes (10 × 10 × 10 mm) were randomly assigned to three groups: Group 1 - sandblasting; Group 2 - CoJet system; Group 3 - SIE. Surface roughness, morphology, and composition were assessed using a profilometer, SEM/EDX, and AFM. Following bonding with resin cement, all specimens underwent 5,000 thermocycles. Shear bond strength was then measured. Results: The SIE group demonstrated significantly greater surface roughness and bond strength compared with the other groups. SEM analysis revealed that SIE generated a well-defined nanoporous surface promoting deep resin infiltration. In contrast, sandblasting and CoJet treatments produced irregular, less retentive surface morphologies. Conclusion: These findings indicate that SIE provides a superior micromechanical and chemical interface, thereby enhancing the durability of zirconia-resin bonding.
