Abstract

Aim: to evaluate the bond strength of two fiber posts systems to root canal dentine using three different protocols of dual-cure resin cements (self-adhesive, self-etch, total-etch). Materials and methods: 60 newly extracted premolar teeth were decoronated and their root canals were treated endodontically, then a post space were prepared to a depth of 8 mm and width of 1.3 mm. Teeth were randomly classified into two main groups (n= 30) according to the fiber post ability to transmit light (group I; “Reforpost” non-light transmitting, group II; “Exacto” light transmitting fiber post), etch group were further subdivided into three groups (n=10) according to the adhesive protocol that were cemented with (subgroup A; “SpeedCEM” self-adhesive, subgroup B; “Multilink Automix” self-etch, subgroup C; “Variolink II” total etch), Three post/dentin sections (coronal, middle and apical) 2 mm in thickness was obtained from each sample, using IsoMet Low Speed Saw device, and pushed until failure with an Instron machine. Results: self-etch cement provided the highest bond strength among the three resin based luting agents in all regions. A remarkable increase of bonding ability with light transmitting post in both subgroups A, C (self-adhesive, total-etch) were found. However there is no statistical difference observed in subgroup B (self-etch). Conclusion: Self-etch adhesive system may be a good choice for luting fiber post as it had a higher bond strength compared with other techniques. Also, the light had more effect in total-etch and self-adhesive subgroups than it had with self-etch subgroup. Keywords: Push-out test, Non-light transmitting fiber post, Light transmitting fiber post, Total-etch resin cement, Self-etch resin cement, Self-adhesive resin cement.
