Application of Resin Adhesive on the Surface of a Silanized Glass Fiber-reinforced Post and Its Effect on the Retention to Root Dentin

摘要

Introduction: In this study, the effect of different post surface treatments on the retention of glass fiber reinforced. post to root dentin was evaluated. The hypotheses tested were (1) post silanization would not improve its retention and (2) the application of silane plus resin adhesive on the post would enhance its retention. Methods: After root canal preparation, 4 different protocols (n = 5) of post surface treatment were evaluated, combined with or without silane (Si lane coupling agent) and adhesive (Scotchbond Multipurpose): silane + adhesive (S/A), only silane, only adhesive, or no treatment (control). RelyX ARC was used for post cementation. Next, specimens were subjected to push-out bond strength testing, and data were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance and Tukey test (P <.05). Results: - S/A showed higher bond strength than other protocols in the middle and coronal root regions (P <.001). Only silane did not enhance post retention compared with control (P>.05). The root dentin region influenced bond strength results only in the S/A group. Conclusions: Whereas silanization as the only post surface treatment did not improve retention, the combination of silane plus resin adhesive enhanced post retention to dentin in the middle and coronal root regions.
