Effect of surface treatment of FRC-Post on bonding strength to resin cements / 대한치과보존학회지

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of surface treatment of FRC-Post on bonding strength to resin cements. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Pre-surface treated LuxaPost (DMG), Rely-X Fiber Post (3M ESPE) and self adhesive resin cement Rely-X Unicem (3M ESPE), conventional resin cement Rely-X ARC (3M ESPE), and Rely-X Ceramic Primer (3M ESPE) were used. After completing the surface treatments of the posts, posts and resin cement were placed in clear molds and photo-activation was performed. The specimens were sectioned perpendicular to the FRC-Post into 2 mm-thick segments, and push-out strength were measured. The results of bond strength value were statistically analyzed using independent samples t-test and one-way ANOVA with multiple comparisons using Scheffe's test. RESULTS: Silanization of posts affect to the bond strength in LuxaPost, and did not affect in Rely-X Fiber Post. Rely-X ARC showed higher value than Rely-X Unicem. CONCLUSIONS: Silanization is needed to enhance the bond strength between LuxaPost and resin cements.
