RESUMO
The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the tensile strength of glass fiber posts submitted to different surface treatments. Forty-eight maxillary canines had their crowns sectioned and root canals endodontically treated. The roots were embedded in acrylic resin and distributed into 3 groups according to the surface treatment: Group I: the posts were treated with silane agent for 30 s and adhesive; Group II: the posts were cleaned with alcohol before treatment with silane agent and adhesive; Group III: the posts were submitted to conditioning with 37% phosphoric acid for 30 s before treatment with silane agent and adhesive. Each group was divided into 2 subgroups for adhesive polymerization or not before insertion into the canal: A - adhesive was not light cured and B - adhesive was light cured. All posts were cemented with Panavia F and the samples were subjected to tensile strength test in a universal testing machine at crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. Data were submitted to one-way ANOVA and Tukey's test at 5% significance level. There was statistically significant difference (p<0.01) only between group GIII-B and groups GI-A and GI-B. No significant difference was found among the other groups (p>0.05). It was concluded that the products used for cleaning the posts influenced the retention regardless of adhesive light curing.
O objetivo deste estudo in vitro foi avaliar a resistência à tração de pinos de fibra de vidro submetidos a diferentes tratamentos de superfície. Quarenta e oito caninos superiores tiveram suas coroas seccionadas e as raízes tratadas endodonticamente. As raízes foram incluídas em resina acrílica e distribuídas em 3 grupos de acordo com o tratamento de superfície aplicado aos pinos: Grupo I: os pinos receberam agente silano por 30 s e adesivo; Grupo II: os pinos foram limpos com álcool e então receberam o agente silano e adesivo; Grupo III: os pinos foram submetidos ao condicionamento com ácido fosfórico a 37% por 30 s, seguido de agente silano e adesivo. Cada grupo foi dividido em 2 subgrupos de acordo com fotoativação do adesivo antes da inserção do pino no interior do canal: A – adesivo não foi fotoativado, B: o adesivo foi fotoativado. Todos os pinos foram cimentados com Panavia F e as amostras foram submetidas a teste de tração utilizando máquina universal de ensaios, com velocidade de 1 mm/min. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos à ANOVA a um critério e ao teste de Tukey com nível de significância de 5%. Houve diferença estatisticamente significante (p<0,01) entre o grupo GIII-B e os grupos GI-A e GI-B. Os demais grupos não apresentaram diferenças significantes entre si (p>0,05). Pode-se concluir que as substâncias utilizadas para a limpeza dos pinos interferiram em sua retenção, independente da fotopolimerização do adesivo.
