Bond strengths of three types of fibre-reinforced post systems in various regions of root canals (original) (raw)
Bond strength values of fiberglass post to flared root canals reinforced with different materials
Brazilian Oral Research, 2018
The aim of this study was to compare in vitro the bond strength (BS) between fiberglass posts and flared root canals reinforced with different materials. The roots of 48 premolars were endodontically treated. After one week, the root canals were prepared to simulate an oversized root canal, except for the positive control group (PCG), which was cemented with a prefabricated fiber post (PFP) compatible with the root canal size, simulating an ideal adaptation. The other samples (n=8/group) were used to test alternative restorative techniques for filling root canals: negative control group (NCG [PFP with a smaller diameter than of the root canal]), composite resin group -CRG, bulkfill group -BFG, self-adhesive cement group -SAG, and glass ionomer group -GIG. The posts were cemented and after 1 week, each root was sectioned transversely into six 1-mm thick discs and the push-out test was done to evaluate the BS. Data were analyzed by two-way repeated measures ANOVA and Tukey's tests (α=0.05). The highest BS value was observed for PCG. The NCG and the GIG groups showed the lowest BS values. Root reinforcement with conventional and bulk-fill composite resins showed the highest BS values; however, the bulk-fill resin was the only treatment able to maintain high BS values in all regions of the root canal. The self-adhesive cement showed intermediate results between CRG and GIG. Root reinforcement with bulk-fill composite resin is an effective option for flared root canals before cementation of a prefabricated fiber post.
Root canal pre-treatment and adhesive system affect bond strength durability of fiber posts ex vivo
Clinical Oral Investigations
Objectives To investigate the effect of different pre-treatments on the long-term bond strength of fiberglass posts luted either with dual-curing self-etch adhesives and core build-up composites or with a self-adhesive resin (SAR) cement. Materials and methods In total, 180 human root-filled teeth received post-space preparations and three different dentin pre-treatments (PTs): PT1, ethanol (99%); PT2, ethanol-tertiary-butanol-water-solution (AH Plus Cleaner, Dentsply Sirona; York, USA); and PT3, distilled water (control). Five luting systems were used: FU, Futurabond U (Voco; Cuxhaven, Germany); CL, Clearfil DC Bond (Kuraray Noritake; Okayama, Japan); GR, Gradia Core SE Bond (GC Europe NV; Leuven, Belgium); LU, LuxaBond Universal (DMG; Hamburg, Germany); and RX, RelyX Unicem 2 (3M; Minnesota, USA). Roots were cut into six slices (1 mm thick). From each root canal region, three slices were submitted to immediate and three to post-storage push-out testing. The latter were subjected t...
Lasers in Medical Science, 2013
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of different irrigation protocols, including laser, on the retention of the fiber-reinforced composite posts to root canal dentinal walls using pull-out tests. Root canals of 60 single-rooted human teeth were filled and post spaces were prepared. Finally, specimens were divided randomly into five groups, each consisting of 12 specimens as follows: 5 % NaOCl (control group), 17 % EDTA, ultrasonic with 17 % EDTA, single 1.5-W Er:YAG laser application, and the combined use of Er:YAG laser and 17 % EDTA. After the root canal procedures, fiber posts were cemented to the root canal. Pull-out tests were performed using a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 2 mm/min. The data were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni post hoc test (p =0.05). Irradiation by the Er:YAG laser with/without EDTA positively affected the pull-out bond strength (p <0.001). The pull-out strength was significantly higher in the ultrasonic group than that of the single irrigation with NaOCl or EDTA (p <0.001). Er:YAG laser irradiation with/without EDTA enhanced the bond strength of fiber posts to root canal dentin walls. Additionally, ultrasonic-EDTA combination increased the bond strength.
Bioengineering
The purpose of the present in vitro study was to investigate the bond strength of root canal dentin and the filling ability of a new multi-fiber-reinforced composite post (mFRC) compared to a conventional single fiber-reinforced-composite post (sFRC). Twenty-eight freshly maxillary first permanent single-rooted premolars were instrumented and divided into groups (n = 14). Group 1: single-fiber-reinforced composite (sFRC), group 2: multi-fiber-reinforced composite (mFRC). Bonding procedures were performed using a dual-cure universal adhesive system and resin cement. All specimens were sectioned so that seven discs of 1 mm of thickness were obtained from each root. An optical microscope was used before the push-out test to measure the total area of the voids and to determine the length of the smaller/bigger circumferences. The push-out bond strength (PBS) test was performed using an Instron universal testing machine. Data were then compared by one-way ANOVA on ranks (α = 0.05). The de...
Effects of Three Canal Sealers on Bond Strength of a Fiber Post
Journal of Endodontics, 2010
Introduction: This study evaluated the effects of three different endodontic sealers on the bond strength of a fiber post cemented with adhesive resin cement. Methods: Forty-eight extracted maxillary central incisors were prepared with the step-back technique and randomly divided into four groups (n = 12 for each group): group 1, control group (gutta-percha points only, no sealer); group 2, resin-based sealer (AH plus; Dentsply De Trey GmbH, Konstanz, Germany); group 3, zinc oxide-eugenol-based sealer (Endofill; Produits Dentaires SA, Vevey, Switzerland); and group 4, calcium hydroxide-based sealer (Sealapex; Kerr, Romulus, MI). The roots were obturated with gutta-percha using the cold lateral compaction technique. Fiber posts were cemented into the prepared post spaces with the adhesive resin cement Panavia F 2.0 (Kuraray Medical, Okayama, Japan). A push-out test was performed in a universal machine, and failure modes were observed. Morphologic changes of the root canal dentin surfaces were examined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results: One-way analysis of variance revealed that sealers have significant effects on bond strength (p < 0.05). The control group had the highest mean pushout bond strength. No statistical difference was detected between the eugenol-based sealer group and the resin-based sealer group (p > 0.05). The root surfaces were covered with the smear layer and debris in all the groups after post space preparation in SEM analysis. However, some of the dentin tubules were partially open in the control and calcium hydroxidebased sealer groups after the application of the resin monomer. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the type of canal sealer and chemomechanical preparation of the root canals affect the bond strength of a fiber post cemented with resin cement.

Effect of Intracanal Post Space Treatments on Push-Out Bond Strength of Fiber Posts to Root Dentin
Journal of Dentistry of Tehran University of Medical Sciences, 2017
The main disadvantage of fiber posts is their low bond strength to root canal wall. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of different root canal post space treatments on push-out bond strength of fiber posts to root canal dentin. After post space preparation in 40 endodontically treated human premolars, the teeth were randomly divided into four experimental groups: Group 1: control group, group 2: Endsolv R, group 3: ultrasonic cleaning, group 4: Clearfil Repair. Afterwards, the posts were bonded with Panavia F 2.0 bonding cement. The bond strength of fiber posts to root canal wall in the middle part of canal was evaluated following thermocycling using push-out test. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tamhane's multiple comparisons test. The failure mode of each group was determined under a stereomicroscope. There was a significant difference in the mean push-out bond strength among the groups (P<0.05). The lowest bond strength was noted in the contro...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of two brushes used as carriers of a primer-adhesive solution as to the formation of resin tags, adhesive lateral branches, and a hybrid layer when used to bond translucent fiber posts. Twenty endodontically treated teeth, extracted for periodontal reasons, were used. The samples were randomly divided into two groups of 10 samples each (Group 1: Microbrush + Scotchbond 1 + Rely X ARC resin cement; Group 2: small plastic brush + Scotchbond 1 + Rely X ARC resin cement). The adhesive system and resin cement were used strictly following manufacturers’ instructions. The priming-adhesive solution of the one-bottle system was light-cured before placing the resin cement and the post. Twenty translucent fiber posts were used. After luting procedures, root samples were processed for SEM observations. The adhesive system showed a resin dentin interdiffusion zone (RDIZ), resin tag, and adhesive lateral branch formation. Microscopic examination of restored interfaces of group 1 showed a higher percentage (p < 0.05) of RDIZ than those found in samples of group 2. In group 1 samples, RDIZ morphology was well detectable and uniform in all thirds of the root canals. In group 2, RDIZ was not visible in the apical third. No statistically significant differences were found among the two groups coronally and at the middle third, but the apical third of group 1 showed significantly more resin tag formation than group 2. The characteristic reverse cone shape of resin tags was always noted in the coronal and middle third of the root canals of both groups and in the apical third of group 1. In the apical third of group 2 root canals, the resin tags showed a less uniform morphology and a shorter length than those found in the other observed thirds.
Measuring bond strength between fiber post and root dentin: a comparison of different tests
The journal of adhesive dentistry, 2010
the aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of bond strength tests to accurately measure the bond strength of fiber posts luted into root canals. the test methods studied were hourglass microtensile (HM), push-out (PS), modified pushout (MP), and pull-out (PL). The evaluated parameters were: bond strength values, reliability (using Weibull analysis), failure mode (using confocal microscopy), and stress distribution (using finite element analysis). Forty human intact single-rooted and endodontically treated teeth were divided into four groups. Each group was assigned one of the test methods. The samples in the HM and PS groups were 1.0 ± 0.1 mm thick; the HM samples were hourglass shaped and the PS samples were disk shaped. For the PL and MP groups, each 1-mm dentin slice was luted with a fiber post piece. Three-dimensional models of each group were made and stress was analyzed based on Von Mises criteria. PL provided the highest values of bond strength, followed by MP, both of...
