Methods: Disk-shaped Ti-6Al-4V and Co-Cr alloy specimens were airabraded with alumina, treated with an etchant (MEP) containing TDTF for 10 s (MEP10) or 30 s (MEP30), and rinsed with water. Subsequently, a primer containing 6-methacryloyloxyhexyl phosphonoacetate was applied to the surfaces, and the specimens were veneered with a light-curing indirect resin composite. Specimens without MEP were prepared as controls (no-MEP). Shear bond strengths were determined before or after 100,000 thermocycles, and the data were analyzed using the Steel-Dwass test (α = 0.05, n = 10). Results: No significant difference was found in the bond strengths between the Ti-6Al-4V and Co-Cr alloys. In each metal alloy, the MEP10 and MEP30 specimens exhibited higher bond strengths than the no-MEP controls after 100,000 thermocycles. Scanning electron microscopy observations revealed that submicron-pits and crevices were formed on both the metal alloys upon applying the MEP etchant. Conclusion: Surface treatments with TDTF following air abrasion are useful for improving bonding durability while veneering resin composites on Ti-6Al-4V or Co-Cr alloy frameworks., Journal of Oral Science, 65(3), pp.153-157; 2023}, pages = {153--157}, title = {Effects of tetrabutylammonium dihydrogen trifluoride etchant on bond strengths of resin composites with Ti-6Al-4V and Co-Cr alloys}, volume = {65}, year = {2023} }
