fa Effect of types of luting agent on push-out bond strength of zirconium oxide posts پروتزهای دندانی Prothtodontics پژوهشي Research <p> <strong>Objective</strong></p><p>  The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different luting agents on the bond strength of zirconium oxide posts in root canals after artificial ageing. </p><p> <strong>Material and methods</strong></p><p>  Thirty single-rooted extracted teeth were collected. Post spaces were prepared. Custom milled zirconium oxide posts (Cercon, Degudent) were fabricated. Specimens were divided into 3 groups (n=10), according to the luting agents used: group RA, conventional resin luting agent (RelyX ARC) group RU, self-adhesive resin luting agent (RelyX Unicem) and group Z, zinc phosphate luting agent (DeTrey). Specimens were subjected to thermocycling and water storage at 37°C. Specimens were horizontally sectioned into three sections and subjected to a push-out test with 0.5mm/min crosshead speed. The failure mode was assessed by scanning electron microscopy. Data were analysed by using 2-way ANOVA. </p><p> <strong>Results</strong></p><p>  The following bond strength values were obtained: group RA – 8.89MPa, group RU – 10.30MPa and group Z – 9.31MPa. There was no significant difference in bond strength among the groups (P=0.500). Adhesive failure mode at the cement/post bonded interface was seen in 100%, 66.67% and 83.3% of examined sections in groups RA, RU and Z, respectively. There was no significant difference in bond strength among different root regions (P=0.367). </p><p> <strong>Conclusion</strong></p><p>  The type of luting agent had no significant effect on the push-out bond strength of zirconium oxide posts after artificial ageing. </p><p> <strong>Clinical</strong> <strong>significance</strong></p><p>  Conventional luting agents, such as zinc phosphate cement, seem to provide comparable retention to resin luting agents for cementing custom milled zirconium oxide posts. </p><hr><p></p><p> <strong>Source: </strong>Journal of Dentistry</p><p><a href="http://www.jodjournal.com/article/S0300-5712(13)00040-7/abstract" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff"> Full Text</font></a></p> Zirconium, Posts, Push-out, Endodontics 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-2142&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Khalil I.
