Efeito do tipo de cimento de fixação e configurações de retentores intra-radiculares na adesão à dentina radicular em diferentes profundidades

Abstract

This study evaluated the effect of different types of luting cement and post configuration on the bonding to intra-radicular dentin in different depths. One hundred and twenty roots received endodontic treatment and were post space preparation for fixation of glass fiber post in the configurations: serrated/parallel Reforpost X-Ray (S); and smooth/conical Exato Cônico (L). The posts were fixed with cements: RelyX ARC (ARC), RelyX Luting 2 (LU), RelyX Unicem (UN), Maxicem (MAX) and Cement-Post (CP). The roots were sectioned transversally, getting two disks of 1mm of thickness for third of the root portion: cervical (C), medium (M) and apical (A), and submitted to the micropush-out test with speed of 0.5mm/min. The bond strength values (MPa) were submitted to the analysis of variance in scheme of subdivided parcel and Tukey test (p0.05). There was significant difference among the cements types (p<0.0001), among the localizations (p<0.0001) and the interaction cement x localization was significant (p<0.0001). The post configuration did not influence the bond strength values. The cements LU and UN presented the highest values of bonding in all extension of root dentin. The cements ARC and CP presented similar bonding values in cervical third, however, the bond strength decreased in the crown-apex direction for the ARC. The cement MAX presented the lowest values of bonding.
