Regional bond strengths to root canal dentin of fiber posts luted with three cementation systems

Brazilian Dental Journal, 2011

This study evaluated the influence of the cementation system on the regional push-out bond strength and failure pattern of fiber posts to radicular dentin. The roots of 48 extracted human incisors were prepared and divided into 3 groups (n=16), according to the cementation system: AdperScotchbond Multi-Purpose + resin cement RelyX ARC (SBMP+ARC); Adper SingleBond 2 + RelyX ARC (SB+ARC) and; RelyX U100 self-adhesive resin cement (U100). The posts were cemented as per manufacturer's instructions for each cementation system. After 1 week, the roots were sectioned transversely into 6 discs. Two discs were obtained from the cervical, middle and apical thirds and the push-out test was carried out. The failure pattern was examined on all debonded specimens. The data were analyzed by two-way repeated measures ANOVA and Tukey's test. When U100 was used, no statistically significant difference (p>0.05) was observed among the different root regions. Statistically higher push-out bond strength values were detected in the cervical third for SBMP+ARC and SB+ARC (p<0.05). The U100 showed significantly more mixed failures than SBMP+ARC in the apical third (p<0.05). In conclusion, the self-adhesive cement RelyX U100 was the only cement not sensitive to the root canal region.

Comparison Between Two Clinical Procedures for Bonding Fiber Posts into a Root Canal: A Microscopic Investigation

Journal of Endodontics, 2002

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.

Evaluation of the resin cement thicknesses and push-out bond strengths of circular and oval fiber posts in oval-shapes canals

The Journal of Advanced Prosthodontics, 2015

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the push-out bond strength varies between oval and circular fiber posts, and to examine the effect on the resin cement thicknesses around the posts. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Eighteen mandibular premolar roots were separated into two groups for oval and circular fiber posts systems. Post spaces were prepared and fiber posts were luted to the post spaces. Roots were cut horizontally to produce 1-mm-thick specimens. Resin cement thicknesses were determined with a metallographic optical microscope and push-out tests were done. RESULTS. No significant differences were observed in terms of push-out bond strength between the oval and circular fiber posts (P>.05) The resin cement thicknesses of the oval posts were greater than those of the circular posts group in the coronal, middle and apical specimens (P<.05). CONCLUSION. In the light of these results, it can be stated that resin cement thickness does not affect the push-out bond strength.

Influence of the Cement Film Thickness on the Push-Out Bond Strength of Glass Fiber Posts Cemented in Human Root Canals

2020

The present study evaluated the influence of the cement film thickness on the push-out bond strength of glass fiber posts in the cervical, medium, and apical thirds of root canal spaces. Thirty roots were randomly divided into three groups, according to the fiber post system's drills: (G1) #2; (G2) #3; (G3) #4. The posts were cemented using a self-adhesive cement, and a small amount of powdered Rhodamine B was used as a stain. Images of both sides of each slice were obtained before and after the push-out test. To determine the cement thickness, a macro routine was developed using the software KS 400. The data were analyzed statistically using Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's test. G2 (14.62 ± 5.15 MPa) showed statistically higher bond strength values than G1 (10.04 ± 5.13 MPa) and G3 (7.68 ± 6.14 MPa). All groups presented higher bond strength values in the apical third. The bur diameter significantly influenced the results of the shear bond strength for the push-out test. The sl...

Effect of cementation protocol on push-out bond strength of fiber posts to root canal

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of adhesive protocol on the retention of glass-fiber posts luted into root canals. Thirty bovine incisors were endodontically treated and 9-mm-deep post holes were prepared. Fiber posts were luted using one of following protocols (n = 10): SB-Single Bond (3 M ESPE) with regular resin cement RelyX ARC (3 M ESPE); SBMP-Scotchbond Multipurpose Plus (3 M ESPE) associated with RelyX ARC; or UNIthe self-adhesive resin cement RelyX Unicem (3 M ESPE). After cementation, root/post specimens were transversally sectioned into 1-mm-thick slices, which were submitted to push-out testing in a mechanical testing machine. Bond strength data were analyzed by ANOVA (α = 0.05). There was no statistical difference between the adhesive protocols evaluated. Considering that the adhesive protocols evaluated showed similar bond strength values, simpler protocols must be preferable to lute fiber posts to root canal.

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.

Bond strength of fibre glass and carbon fibre posts to the root canal walls using different resin cements

Australian Endodontic Journal, 2011

The aim of the study was to evaluate the bond strength of fibre glass and carbon fibre posts in the root canal walls cemented with self-adhesive (RelyX-Unicem) and chemical (Cement-Post) resin cements. Forty maxillary canines were divided into four groups according to the cement and post used and submitted to the push-out test (0.5 mm min -1 ). The data were submitted to statistical analysis (2-way ANOVA, Bonferroni -P < 0.05) and fracture analysis by Scanning Electronic Microscopy. Fibre glass presented the best results when cemented with RelyX-Unicem and Cement-Post (P < 0.05). RelyX-Unicem presented the highest bond strength values for both posts (P < 0.05). Fracture analysis showed predominance of cohesive fracture of post for RelyX-Unicem and adhesive fracture between dentin/cement and mixed for Cement-Post. The bond strength values were significantly affected by the type of post and cement used and the highest values were found for fibre glass posts and RelyX-Unicem. Aust Endod J 2011; 37: 44-50 44

Effect of Root Canal Sealers on Bond Strength of Fiber Posts to Root Dentin Cemented after one Week or six Months

Iranian endodontic journal, 2018

Eugenol-based root canal sealers (RCS) have been widely used by clinicians; however, their effect on resinous materials is still questionable. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of RCS at 1 week and 6 months' post obturation on the bond strength (BS) of glass fiber posts (GFP) to root dentin, using conventional and self-adhesive cementation systems (CS). The roots of 56 extracted human canines, were divided in eight groups (=7) according to the combination of the following factors: RCS (with or without eugenol-Endofill and Sealer 26, respectively), storage period post obturation and prior GFP cementation (1 week and 6 months) and cementation systems (Variolink II - conventional resin cement or RelyX U200-self-adhesive resin cement). After one week, the specimens were transversely sectioned into six 1-mm-thick disks and were subjected to the push out BS test. The data were subjected to 3-way ANOVA and Tukey's tests (=0.05). The BS were not affected by t...
