Luting of fiber posts to intra-radicular dentin represents the worst-case scenario in terms of control of polymerization shrinkage. This study tested the hypothesis that filler content of resin cements does not influence luting of fiber posts to intra-radicular dentin, by assaying polymerization stress, push-out bond strength, and nanoleakage expression. The polymerization stress of experimental cements containing 10%, 30%, 50%, or 70% in filler content was investigated. Post spaces were prepared in endodontically treated teeth, and fiber posts were cemented with the experimental cements. A push-out test was performed, and interfacial nanoleakage expression was analyzed. Results showed that luting cements with higher filler content were related to increased polymerization stress (p < 0.05), decreased push-out bond strength (p < 0.05), and increased interfacial nanoleakage expression (p < 0.05). Conversely, lower-stress luting materials increased bonding of fiber posts to intra-radicular dentin. Further in vivo studies are needed to investigate the long-term clinical performance of these materials.

Abstract
Luting of fiber posts to intra-radicular dentin represents the worst-case scenario in terms of control of polymerization shrinkage. This study tested the hypothesis that filler content of resin cements does not influence luting of fiber posts to intra-radicular dentin, by assaying polymerization stress, push-out bond strength, and nanoleakage expression. The polymerization stress of experimental cements containing 10%, 30%, 50%, or 70% in filler content was investigated. Post spaces were prepared in endodontically treated teeth, and fiber posts were cemented with the experimental cements. A push-out test was performed, and interfacial nanoleakage expression was analyzed. Results showed that luting cements with higher filler content were related to increased polymerization stress (p < 0.05), decreased push-out bond strength (p < 0.05), and increased interfacial nanoleakage expression (p < 0.05). Conversely, lower-stress luting materials increased bonding of fiber posts to intra-radicular dentin. Further in vivo studies are needed to investigate the long-term clinical performance of these materials.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
