ABSTRACT: The purpose was to investigate by push-out tests and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)/energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) the effect, after first acid etching the post space walls, of three radicular dentine treatments on the regional bond strength of quartz fibre posts placed using two heavily filled resin luting cements. The crowns of 39 extracted maxillary central incisors were sectioned transversely 2 mm coronal to the labial cement-enamel junction and the roots endodontically treated. After standardized post space preparations and etching 15 s with 32% phosphoric acid, 36 roots were randomly divided into six equal groups. Quartz fibre posts (D.T. LIGHT-POST) were placed using three radicular dentine treatments (0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) for 60 s, 10% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) for 60 s, 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) for 60 s followed by 5.25% NaOCl for 60 s) and two resin composite luting cements (ONE-STEP PLUS/DUO-LINK; ONE-STEP PLUS/LuxaCore Dual). Transverse segments (S1-S7), 1.00 mm (SD = 0.05 mm) thick, were sectioned from the coronal 8 mm of each root. Push-out bond strength tests were performed on coronal, middle and apical post space segments (S2, S4, S6) at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. Data were recorded and analyzed using a two-way mixed ANOVA design (a = 0.05). Three segments (S1, S5, S7) from roots in each group were examined using SEM/EDS. After post space preparation, acid etching and using each of the three radicular dentine treatments, the three remaining roots were sectioned longitudinally for SEM observation of the post space walls. At all root segment sites, the mean bond strengths from using 0.9% NaCl were significantly lower than for the other two radicular dentine treatments (P ≤ 0.02), and DUO-LINK cement had significantly higher mean bond strengths than LuxaCore Dual cement (P ≤ 0.01). There was a significant linear trend for reduced bond strengths from coronal to apical post space segments (P < 0.001), which was supported by the SEM/EDS observations of dentine tubule appearance and resin tag formation. Acid etching followed by either 10% NaOCl or 17% EDTA and 5.25% NaOCl dentine treatments of the post spaces provided good adhesion and resin luting cement tag infiltration of dentinal tubules in the coronal and middle segments in particular.Clinical Oral Investigations 12/2011; 15(6):869-78. · 2.36 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: To study the effects of two different endodontic sealers on the bond strength of two fiber posts cemented with adhesive resin cement. Twenty-eight crownless human maxillary central incisors were prepared with the step-back technique and randomly divided into four groups according endodontic sealer and fiber: Group A, Cortisomol sealer+Matchpost fiber post; Group B, Cortisomol sealer+Macrolock fiber post; Group C, Guttaflow sealer+Matchpost fiber post; Group D, Guttaflow sealer+Macrolock fiber post. One week after fiber posts were bonded, a thin-slice push-out test was performed in a universal machine. Morphologic structure of the root canal dentin surfaces etched and the adhesive interfaces were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The bond strengths of 4 groups were (7.06 +/- 3.22), (9.31 +/- 3.61), (6.90 +/- 3.13), (9.71 +/- 3.42) MPa. The bond strengths of group B and D were significantly higher than that of group A and C (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between group A and C, group B and D (P > 0.05). The cervical third had the highest mean push-out bond strength, next to middle third and apical third (P < 0.01). SEM showed that larger numbers of the dentin tubules were open after the root canals were etched and penetration of resin tags into the dentinal tubules increased in the coronal root region when compared with the apical root region. The shear bond strength doesn't have relationship with endodontic sealers. The serration significantly increases the retention of fiber post. The bond strengths are different at the three root segment sites.Hua xi kou qiang yi xue za zhi = Huaxi kouqiang yixue zazhi = West China journal of stomatology 10/2011; 29(5):497-500.
