dc.description.abstractObjective: This study aimed to determine the minimum number of specimens required to obtain statistically reliable conclusions in adhesion studies using the Weibull statistic and to estimate the probability of failure under defined conditions. Materials-methods: Specimens (N=160) were prepared from resin composite (RC: Brilliant, Coltene), lithium disilicate (LD: IPS e.max Press, Ivoclar), zirconia (YZ: Z-CAD, Metoxid AG), and titanium (TI: Ti CP Grade 4, Permascand). RC, YZ, and TI were air-abraded (50 µm Al2 O2 , 2.5 bar, 10 s), and LD was etched with 5% hydrofluoric acid (20 s). Resin cement cylinders (Ø=3×4 mm) were bonded using one of the following: Variolink Esthetic DC (Ivoclar), Panavia V5 (Kuraray Noritake), Panavia 21 (Kuraray Noritake), or Multilink Automix (Ivoclar). The combinations tested were as follows: RC-Variolink Esthetic DC/Panavia V5; LD-Variolink Esthetic DC/Panavia V5; YZ-Panavia 21/Multilink Automix; TI Panavia 21/Multilink Automix. Half of the specimens were stored at 37 °C for 24 h; the other half underwent thermocycling (x6000, 5-55 °C). Shear bond strength was tested (1 mm/min), and failure modes were assessed under digital microscopy. Weibull analysis evaluated bond reliability for 10, 20, 30 and 40 specimens in each group. Maximum likelihood estimation and 95% confidence intervals determined differences. Results: For RC, Variolink Esthetic DC showed higher characteristic strength (η) at n=10 and 20 vs. n=30 and 40. Panavia V5 showed a significant decrease from n=10 to 40 only in the non-aged condition. In LD, both cements showed decreasing η with increasing n. In YZ and TI, both Panavia 21 and Multilink Automix showed reduced characteristic strength with increasing n. Failures were mainly cohesive in LD but adhesive with the other materials. Conclusions: Increasing sample size reduced characteristic strength (η) across all materials, indicating that small sample sizes overestimate adhesive performance. Larger samples yield more reliable estimates. The Weibull modulus (β) remained stable or increased slightly after aging, especially for zirconia.
