ABSTRACT
AIM: To evaluate the effect of fiber post surface treatments on push-out bond strength between fiber post and root dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty bovine mandibular teeth (N=60) were sectioned (16 mm), prepared (12 mm), embedded with acrylic resin and then allocated into six groups (n=10): Gr1- Silane coupling agent (Sil)+Conventional resin cement AllC em (Al C); Gr2- Sil+Conventional resin cement RelyX ARC (ARC); Gr3- tribochemical silica coating (TBS)+AlC; Gr4- TBS+ARC; Gr5- No treatment (NT)+AlC; Gr6- NT+ ARC. Specimens were sectioned in four slices (2 mm) and submitted to push-out test. Fracture analyses were executed at x200. The values of the push-out bond strength were submitted to two-way ANOVA and Tukey test (α=0.05). RESULTS: Resincement did not affect the bond strength values (p=0.9674), fiber post surface treatment affected the push-out bond strength (p=0.0353), interaction between factors did not affected the values (p=0.338). Tukey test did not show differences between the groups. Adhesive failure between cement and dentin was predominantly. CONCLUSION: The fiber post surface treatment appears have no Influence on bond strength between fiber post and root dentin. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The tested fiber posts surface treatment appears do not Influence the fiber post bond behavior.

This study evaluated the influence of silica-based film coatings on the surface of yttrium-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP), in particular on the durability of the bond strength between the ceramic and resin cement. Eighty Y-TZP (In-Ceram YZ, Vita) blocks (4 × 4 × 3 mm) were obtained and divided into four groups according to the surface treatments (n = 20): tribochemical silica coating (TBS; Cojet, 3M/ESPE), 5 nm SiO2 nanofilm and silanization (F-5), 500 nm SiO2 nanofilm and silanization (F-500), and 500 nm SiO2 nanofilm + hydrofluoric-acid-etching + silanization (F-500HF). Specimens of composite resin (3.25 mm in diameter and 3 mm in height) were cemented to Y-TZP blocks using resin cement (Relyx ARC). Half of the specimens from each group were tested 24 h after adhesion (B: baseline condition), and the other half were subjected to aging (A: storage for 90 days and 10,000 thermal cycles). The specimens were subjected to shear testing (SBS) (1 mm/min). After testing, the surfaces were analyzed with a stereomicroscope and scanning electron microscope. Micromorphologic and elemental chemical analyses of the treated Y-TZP surface were made by X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy. Bond strength data were statistically analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis/Mann-Whitney tests (α = 0.05). The surface treatment showed significant differences for B (p = 0.0001) and A (p = 0.0000) conditions. In both storage conditions, TBS and F-5 groups promoted the significantly highest bond strength. Most of the specimens presented adhesive failure. The X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis depicted the highest peak of silica in the TBS, F-5, and F-500 groups. The adhesion to zirconia can be improved if the surface receives a 5 nm layer of SiO2 nanofilm or is subjected to sandblasting with silica particles, followed by silanization.

This trial used push-out testing to evaluate four different fiber post cementation strategies. Specimens of bovine mandibular teeth were randomly allocated into four groups according to cementation strategies (n = 10): ScotchBond MultiPurpose and RelyX ARC (Group 1); AdheSE and Multilink Automix (Group 2); phosphoric acid and RelyX U100 (Group 3); and RelyX U100 (Group 4). Four slices from each specimen (2.0 mm thick) were obtained for the push-out test. All slices were analyzed for failure mode after testing. A one-way ANOVA showed differences between the groups (P = 0.002). A Tukey test indicated that Group 1 had the highest bond strength values (13.96 ± 6.41 MPa). Groups 2 (6.58 ± 2.14 MPa), 3 (5.85 ± 2.57 MPa), and 4 (8.19 ± 2.28 MPa) had similar bond strengths, but all of them were lower than Group 1. A three-step total etching adhesive system, associated with a conventional resin cement, might be a good alternative for fiber post cementation.
