(2021), France and Italy , In vitro - Optical profilometry (Talysurf CCI green light, Taylor Hobson, UK) - Shear bond strength testing (Erichsen, Wuppertal, Germany) at a 0.05 mm/s crosshead speed , Zirconia (DDBioZ, Dental Direkt GmbH, Spenge, Germany); ZrO 2 + HfO 2 + Y 2 O 3 (≥ 99wt%), Al 2 O 3 (0.25wt%), and other oxides (< 0.1wt%) , Primer (Zirconia Prime, DenMat, USA) Flowable resin-matrix composite (Tetric EvoFlowTM, Ivoclar Vivadent, Germany) , 1070 nm Yb-doped pulsed fiber laser (AREX 20, Datalogic, Italy) , 1070 nm Yb-doped pulsed fiber laser with a maximum average output power of 20 W, a fixed pulse duration of 100 ns, and a repetition rate in the range 20–100 kHz , - , - The highest forces were recorded for laser-treated surfaces (132.5 ± 61.35 N) than those for non-treated ones (105.7 ± 56.1 N). However, the difference was not considered statistically significant ( p = 0.2155) Lines depth: 10 μm Depth at 10 W: 100 μm Depth at 20 W: 120 μm.
