description Metal-ceramic crowns and bridges provide a stable and aesthetic tooth reconstruction. Hot pressing of veneering ceramics to metal substructure minimizes the formation of pores. Within the oral cavity, prosthetic structures are exposed to thermal stress. The study examines the influence of temperature changes on the quality and durability of the metal-ceramic bond using thermocyclic loading. Prior to the ceramic pressing, 40 cylindrical alloy specimens (height: 15 mm, diameter: 7 mm) were treated with abrasive blasting using Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> (250 µm) or SiC (250 µm). They were divided into four groups: two control groups (sandblasted with Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> or SiC) and two groups subjected to thermocyclic simulation. The ceramic-to-metal bond strength was measured with a shear test before and after thermocyclic loading. A statistically significant reduction in the bond strength between the metal substructure and the pressed ceramic was found after thermocyclic exposure. The bond strength decreased by 57% for Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> sandblasted specimens and 36% for those sandblasted with SiC, as against the control group. This indicates that thermocycling weakens the bond between the metal alloy and pressed ceramic. The SiC blasting of the cobalt-chromium alloy results in a higher shear bond strength of the material connection after thermocyclic stimulation than the abrasive blasting with Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>.
