ABSTRACT


Purpose: This Study Evaluated The Influence Of Different Surface Conditioners On The Push-out Bond Strength Between A Glass Fiber Post Surface And Self-adhesive Resin Cement. Methods: Twenty-one Sound, Single Rooted Canines Were Selected And Were Endodontically Treated Using Protaper Rotary System And Post Space Preparation Was Performed. Twenty-one Glass Fiber Posts (Glassix-Plus, Nordin) Were Divided Into Three Groups According To Different Surface Treatments Subjected To Glass Fiber Posts: Group 1: No Treatment And Silane Application Only (G1); Group 2: Immersion In 95% Ethyl Alcohol For 10 Minutes Followed By Silane Application (G2); Group 3: Immersion In 20% H2O2 For 10 Minutes Followed By Silane Application (G3). Self-adhesive Resin Cement (G-Cem) Was Used For Cementation Of The Glass Fiber Posts To The Root Canal Dentin. Two Slices ( Coronal And Middle Sections) Of 2 Mm Thick Were Sectioned From Each Root Using ISOMET Machine. A Universal Testing Machine Was Used With A Cross-head Speed Of 1 Mm/minute For Performing The Push Out Bond Strength Tests. Two-way ANOVA And Tukey Post Hoc Tests Were Used For Analyzing Data (?=0.05). The Effect Of Different Root Section Location On The Push-out Bond Strength Of Self-adhesive Resin Cement Was Also Evaluated. Failure Mode Of Root Sections Were Then Examined Under Stereomicroscope (50X Magnification) After Dislodgment Of Fiber Posts.

Results: ANOVA Indicated Significant Differences Among Surface Treatments (p<0.05). Regarding The Effect Of Post Surface Treatment Regardless Of Other Variables, The Results Revealed That Both Groups G3 And G2 Had A Significant Higher Bond Strength Values Than Group G1 , While There Is No Significant Statistical Difference Between Groups G2 And G3 . Group G1 Had Lowest Bond Strength Values Among Other Groups (p<0.05). Regarding The Effect Of Root Section Location Regardless Of Other Variables, The Results Revealed That Middle Third Root Section Showed A Significant Higher Bond Strength Values Than Coronal Third Root Section. SEM Analysis Showed Mixed And Adhesive Types Of Failure In All Groups. Hypothesis: The Use Of Different Surface Treatment Could Improve The Chemical-mechanical Interaction Between Fiber Posts And Resin Cements, Thus Improving The Performance Of Clinical Application Of These Materials In Endodontic Treated Teeth. Clinical Significance: Within The Parameters Of This Study, The Bonding Capability Of Self-adhesive Resin Cements To Glass Fiber Posts Were Affected By Different Post Surface Pre-treatments. Post Surfaces Treated With 20% H2O2or 95% Ethyl Alcohol Showed Significantly Stronger Bond Interactions To Self-adhesive Resin Cement Than Those Only Treated With Silane Application.
